• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: Let Jesus love you, and love others through you!
• Something funny that happened while preaching: I once congratulated an 86 year old couple on their 67 wedding anniversary, and said in front of my wife and congregation, "I could not imagine wanting to be married to any one for 67 years". What I meant to say was, " I could not imagine being married for 67 years." oops
