How do you evaluate, like, what do you really want your legacy to be, and how does faith sort of intertwine in that? You know, I think part of the legacy is about your children, and having two kids of my own now is a respect of understanding, and I think a lot of people in my situation could probably take and say that they are the reason why they're successful, but when your children recognize really quickly that nothing is possible without my relationship with Christ and the gift that He's given me, one, and the second thing is that I try to enforce into them is He's given you these opportunities, He's asking you to take full advantage of it. I mean, He's given you that direction, He's given you the opportunity, and so therefore, don't disappoint Him by not having the work ethic to do what it takes to be successful, and so I think with that, I have seen it with my own kids of how they have handled success, they have handled diversity, and the extraordinary amount of work ethic that they have. They, beyond belief, the amount of work that they have put in, and so I think that's just leading by example. In my testimony, I always talk about my grandmother. It wasn't her words always, but it was her actions, and as we always say, actions speak louder than words, and I think that's what it entails, and so if you're going to leave a legacy, that legacy needs to be passed down from generation to generation, and it's our responsibility to let our children and grandchildren understand what it is that we are so grateful for, and the gifts that God gives us.
