Quotes by Champ Thornton (?)

“Oh, Señor mi Dios, me has hecho rey en lugar de mi padre David, para reinar sobre tu pueblo. Hay muchos como para contarlos, y yo todavía soy joven. No sé cómo ser su rey, así que, por favor, dame sabiduría para saber cómo liderarlos, y ayúdame a conocer la diferencia entre el bien y el mal”.”

“nada: no había mundo, ni cielo, ni flores ni personas. Lo único que había . . . era Dios. ¿Piensas que Dios se sentía solo? ¡Para nada! Antes de hacer las cosas, no estaba solo. Dios el Padre siempre tuvo con él al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo.”
