BiggyDman wears many hats, literally! He is an optimist, a preacher, and a great friend, not to mention a great character actor.

In God We Trust; America’s Foundational Source of Optimism “God Bells You” I Love My Country “Religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness. [N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous, they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.” – Samuel Adams Some Video Highlights: [0:43] Story about one of my students who was an Olympic Gold medalist in high-diving [2:03] Something I’m thankful for about America [2:26] Special request to do this video–What is there to be optimistic about in America?
