Toby, you said it very well. This Net Hugs in a keeper in my folder, if just to have this to listen to (often) when I need a boost! He is very inspiring and I do believe he is a good man and is sincere in his beliefs. But, in this day and age, would a Commencement speaker even be allowed to mention God?? Many blessings to him for this uplifting message.

Many thanks to Denzel Washington for his inspiring, hope-filled speech on “PUT GOD FIRST!” Truly, he is a Prince among men for speaking the truth to a floundering society. If it only points one life in the right direction — it was well worth his time & effort. Continued blessings on you & yours, Denzel.

Hopefully he touched some. He certainly touched me! We are in desperate need of messages like this and it is so true, only with God leading and us trusting Him, can we stay on track. We need to humble ourselves before God. Too many disruptions and temptations in life AND lack of good leadership in the country.

A great inspirational speech. Denzel is a good speaker. Wish so many young people would listen to these words and want to do good in their life. Need more people to try to inspire our young ones.
