Michael W. Smith Quotes:
I sure love Ireland. The first trip I ever made was last year when I did this record in Dublin. [It's] one of my favorite places I've ever been ever [and I] can't wait to go back.

I'm actually the chairman of the historical foundation [in Franklin] called the Heritage Foundation in Franklin. We've got a pretty good group of folks, very influential folks, who are really striving to protect those lands and so far we're not having a lot of problems. We're growing too fast. Everybody wants to put up some sort of neighborhood but that's our biggest battle. Nobody's really trying to go on any of the historical land.
