What are you going to do? If he was so foolish and sloppy to take the chances he was taking, do you think he was smart with his money and and made sound investments so he could take an early retirement living off the income generated by that? Who will hire him? Is he marketable in the workplace at age what---55-57? Will he try to manage a mcds or walmart? Has he ever had an ordinary job ever in his life?

What is the one skill he has? Preaching. There's a market for him and he will find his niche and will continue just like fuller, hanby, swaggert, bakker, et al. Most of them don't go to selling cars, insurance, investments, real estate or start a business. They find a place somewhere in the church world, any church world, that can pay the bills and put food on the table.

amen-great points!!!!!!
