Kathy,
I have to admit, I have no guide dog and no fame to claim and I haven't
climb Mount Everest either. I have been to the top of Mount Evans just
outside of Denver which is 12,300 feet but to tell the truth, I rode in a
car because there is a road all the way to the top, well, almost all the
way. At any rate, I've had to lower my fee to two dollars and fifty cents.
I'll even pay my own expenses. In fact, I'll pay to preach but don't tell
anybody that or they'll literally expect it. Sorry the meeting did not
yield as favorable results as we wished. I hate business meetings like that
but I've seen churches split up for a lot less, too, so I'm glad no fist
fights broke out. That reminds me. Remind me some day, if I haven't told
it before, to tell about a pastor friend of man who literally beat one of
his church members up in front of the whole church standing outside after he
had just got done preaching. It is a classic.
Phil.
