I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together...

Since news of this 'reunion' stuff leaked out I've had several folks that he generally sings for yearly tell me they would NEVER have him again. It's sad, too, because this man is a good man... a blast to be around and will keep you laughing. GREAT voice.

I think that matters little on his 'resume', however, if your latest job was being a tenor for someone whose reputation was a victim of suicide years ago.

He can call me, I will keep him busy. When I started traveling out of the UPC, I heard this same stuff. " people will stop using you vicki"!!!
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 decision.

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.

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.

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?

I guess you missed the point but it doesn't surprise me much.

There seems to still be a good bit of that around here.
