I started to go to church when I was 2 years old. I basically grew up in the church. When I was about 12 years old, my church took a break from sunday school every summer. Instead we would get to join all the older kids for a summer video series. Back then, watching videos sure was better than being in a classroom. But I was young and dumb at the time(as opposed to being old and dumb now) and those videos bored me too. I remember the video that changed my entire outlook on Christian speakers and pastors. We watch this one video where this guy was yelling and spitting and he was so funny. It was like watching a comedian and through all the laughter, the message of Christ's love still made it into my brain. This guy had a way of relating life and humor and what it meant to live a life where you put your trust in Jesus. That was over 20 years ago. His name was Tony Campolo. He is speaking at my church this sunday. I can't believe it. I am inviting everyone in blogworld to my church this sunday to hear Tony speak. He is speaking on behalf of world vision. June and I support this organization and we sponsor 2 children: Pelince and Vibol. I know it's thanksgiving sunday and its football and long weekend but come on out, my church has 3 services, 9:15, 11:15 and 6:30 at night. Hope to see you there.
