"All the people who are hating me right now and are here waiting to see me die, when you wake up in the morning you aren't going to feel any different.   You are going to hate me as much tomorrow as you do tonight.  When you wake up and nothing has changed inside, reach out to God...He will heal you. Let Him touch your hearts.  Don't hate all your lives."
