My oldest son, Gary, is a seasoned minister and travels with me for ministers' conferences.

Conferences at the top level are always courteous. Name-calling is left to the foreign ministers.

In the Thai case we have seen the prime minister ask one of the deputy prime ministers to head an inter-ministry group. The high level of political attention is key.

The three foreign ministers and Javier Solana just had an hour and 20 minute meeting with the new foreign minister of Iran, ... Everybody knows the efforts that the EU-3 has put in (to defuse the crisis) ... We look forward to the meeting later on.

You see, I was the son of a baptist minister.

I am not officially involved now in the direction of the Teen Challenge ministry, but I rejoice that God permits me to be the father of these ministries.
