when I took my wife home before we were married and she had a chance to see him preach. He is from Jeanette but has been our preacher for years. replaced my grandfather at our church.


during his sermon he said this...

"oh, don't get it twisted, I wasn't always a man of the cloth, before I met my wife back in the day I.WAS.A.DOG. (imagine Martin stompin during each word) uh, oh... So I'm the only one? Fellas, it's okay, no reason to lie. We live in THIS world and no one is pure"

I stood up and pointed and he walked down from the pulpit and gave me a high five.

my wife was shaking her head like she was enbarassed but after the sermon she turned to me and said "he is doing our wedding"

a year later we went home, he asked how the marriage was going and says "and they said it wouldn't last"... dude got jokes.

he is also a beast on the basketball court. haven't been able to find a preacher like that since. hell, can't front... haven't really looked because I don't think I can find one who can do it like he does.
