“I grew up in a remarkable home, the middle of seven children. My parents raised us well. They loved us well. We laughed hard growing up. But being the middle child, I couldn't figure out where I fit in the home, whether I was the youngest of the older three or the oldest of the younger three. When you don't know where you fit inside the home and you're young and you're desperate to fit in somewhere, I'd figured where I would fit outside the home. So I made some bad decisions about who I hung out with, I dropped out of high school, got kicked out of the house.” KnowsWellsChildrenMadeHardHomeSchoolYoungThreeHouseParentDecisionGrowing UpGrowingMiddleFiguresGrewFitGrew UpHigh SchoolRaisedSevenDesperateRemarkableLaughedHungBad DecisionMiddle Child Author:Tullian Tchividjian
“I think once you start as an announcer, you have to decide what kind of approach you're going to have. I decided very early that I was going to be a reporter, that I would not cheer for the team. I don't denigrate people who do it. It's fine. I think you just have to fit whatever kind of personality you have, and I think my nature was to be more down the middle and that's the way I conducted the broadcasts.” PeopleThinkingWayKindTeamMiddleFinePersonalityFitApproachDecidedCheerReportersAnnouncers Author:Ernie Harwell

“Really unreflective people are now inwardly without Christianity, and the more moderate and reflective people of the intellectual middle class now possess only an adapted, that is to say marvelously simplified Christianity. A god who in his love arranges everything in a manner that in the end will be best for us; a god who gives to us and takes from us our virtue and our happiness, so that as a whole all is meet and fit and there is no reason for us to take life sadly, let alone exclaim against it; in short, resignation and modest demands elevated to godhead” PeopleGivingEndsReasonWholeChristianityClassVirtueMiddleFitDemandIntellectualMiddle ClassNo ReasonModestHis LoveModeratesResignationAdapted Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
