“Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien - but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most - from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams.” HumansKindMadeSpiritFoundPresidentVoiceLaughingOur LivesStreetsTalentCryNeededOffersElementsDoctorsThanksAliensTouchingProfessorsPeterTroopsVersesHuman SpiritRobinsOur TroopsMarginalizedCondolencesNanniesOne Of A KindGeniesAirmenOur Condolences Author:Barack Obama

“The social sciences offer equal promise for improving human welfare; our lives can be greatly improved through a deeper understanding of individual and collective behavior.

“I was lucky enough to have had great success early on in life; to have had all the things the material world can offer. And yet, I realized that what I had actually neglected was the more spiritual side of myself, which has always been there. But it's easy for us in our culture to become consumed in a sense by materialism. Now materialism is fine. We live in a material world. I'm not saying that beautiful things don't enhance our lives. But, in our culture, we're never happy.” WorldEnoughBeautifulSpiritualCultureEasySidesOur LivesMaterialsFineOffersLuckyI RealizedMaterialismBeautiful ThingsConsumedNeglectedGreat SuccessMaterial World Author:Tom Ford

I invited Jesus Christ to be Lord of my life and made a commitment to follow Him. God offers each of us the free gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus by "confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead" (Romans 10:9).
