Quotes from Dr. Floyd:

“We live in a very dysfunctional, busy, divided day and time in this country and, to me, if we're going to be able to be agents of influence and agents of change, we better have a healthy life encompassing all of these areas.” 

“God wants me to be functional and he wants me to be together so that whatever comes my way, I can respond in the Godly fashion and in the Biblically based fashion that will honor the Lord.” 

“God wants to use us until we take our last breath on this earth.”
