Sometimes it looks like God’s abandoned you, but not for any reason. To make your faith grow and to see that, no matter what happens, you come out OK… It’s all for your good. It’s all for love, and it’s all for making you a strong person. Brian Welch

I like to read a lot, man. I read a lot and meditate and just go to that place. I’m not really an outdoorsman. I don’t watch TV. Brian Welch
