While I was preaching to put a fire under some 'sitting Saints' we had a house full of visitors and saw some more get the Holy Ghost tonight... overall a great night!

Did you have an ego problem when you preached?? hehehe

Been there, done it, heard it. He will be fine, he needs to keep going and don't look back.
God is his Source, not these preachers that are unhappy with his decisiion.

For you, Vicki, it may have worked fine. For Dave? In my opinion that would be his destruction. I know him well as do you... but, trust me, I know him in a whole different dynamic.

Dave is one of the funniest, most talented people you'll ever meet. Having talked to me about many of his past experiences I'm very surprised that he's even considering this reunion thing.

Not that I know of...

I was, however, politically incorrect at various points during my sermon.

Did he ever say to you, "Yall are great, yall are great?

The mall ordeal was actually only about 15 years ago. At least the one he was arrested for.

All the time...

TRUE STORY: One day a lot of our relatives were standing outside of our house and Dave and Tita were there, too. During this time my son came up on his horse (my oldest is a huge horse lover) and Dave (the MASTER of asking questions) started in. The conversation went as such:

"Are horses smart?"

"Absolutely, they can learn all kinds of things"

"Can they learn different tricks and stuff?"

"Sure, they do it all the time."

"So you're saying they are, like, smart as dogs and stuff?"

"Oh yea. Most horses are smart like that, I'd say."

And then, as God be my witness, Dave leaned over into the ear of the horse and said - with my son still sitting in the saddle...

"Roll over, boy, roll over"
"Play dead, pretty boy, play dead"
"Come on, boy, roll over for me!"

The look on my son's face... priceless!

It's amazing how that when someone takes up for a friend who has had problems in his past, everyone thinks that it will destroy them. Any organization that would destroy such a man who is trying to restore a friend is no organization I would even WANT to be a part of.

Friendship is more enduring than denominations, isn't it?

An group that would allow homosexuals on their platform is not a group I care to be a part of.

acharris,

You haven't a clue of my relationship with Dave. You haven't a clue of what I'm talking about in that post. Furthermore, it has nothing to do with Dave 'taking up for a friend' but aligning himself with someone who has destroyed his reputation long ago in a very vile way.

It has nothing to do with any 'organization' but - for the record - it may be a good thing you're not in the UPC. Besides, Dave goes to many Churches that are not UPC and the people saying they won't have him back are both in and out of the organization.

Nice try. Batter out.

I agree it would be hard for me too.

But I don't have a problem with adulterers, liars, lookers at porn, holier than thou, etc, etc.

Is that kind of what you were thinking rrford?
