The DMV

I must be doing something wrong. I got applause this morning and a hug from a woman in the line as I handed out tracts. I truly do not expect applause but I realize that we have a strong Christian base in Baton Rouge, LA so I guess the message was effective.
I'm going to LSU's campus in the morning. ESPN College Gameday is filming from Baton Rouge as LSU is hosting #1 ranked Alabama. The crowd should be enormous and I hope to put a million dollar bill into the hands of Lee Courso, Kirk Herbstreet, and Chris Fowler. We'll see what happens.

Election Day

I went to the polls Tuesday, November 4th but not with the intention to vote. I voted absentee about 2 weeks prior so I avoided the long lines on election day as far as voting is concerned but it was the long lines that I wanted. At lunch time, a good line formed at an elementary school and it was moving slowly. I grabbed my tracts and headed in. I was overwhelmed with fear knowing that the polling officials would try to stop me but prayer got me through it. I didn't get 20 words in when the officials asked me to stop. I was not electioneering and felt I was in my rights to speak. She said I was interfering with the election process and that some people had complained. Interestingly enough, no one had even spoken to her at this point. She said I was not allowed to be there unless I was voting at the precinct so I asked her to show me those rules. She left and by God's providence I was able to finish my message before she got back.

This morning I went to the DMV and was able to deliver the Gospel to a sizable crowd. A DPS officer told me I couldn't solicit on state property so I told him that I had written permission from his boss (the Colonel of the State Police). He backed off and took one of the Million Dollar bills after I offered him one. He was very nice and seemed to really appreciate what I was doing. Just an update of what I have been up to and how faithful our Father is.

Voters

Went down to my local Clerk of Court office to vote absentee. Jacked up nearly 100 people and could have done more but I ran out of $millions. Everyone got a kick out of it and the local news came down and shot some video. I didn't get on camera but I did get caught handing out tracts including a sheriff's deputy and the camera man.

Deeper 2008

I was blessed by God to attend the Deeper Conference in Woodstock, GA this past weekend. Presented by Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, Todd Friel, Trish Ramos and Emeal Zwayne of The Way of the Master and hosted by First Baptist Church of Woodstock the guests included Paul Washer, Marshall Foster, Ken Ham, and the church pastor Johnny Hunt. I wish all Christians could go to this conference because instead of it being about you, it is about the Savior and the lost.

Paul Washer is a "Back to Total Commitment and Complete Surrender" kind of preacher who throws jet fuel on the embers of Christians who are eager for revival and have a heart for the lost. I could sit under his teaching without sleep for at least a month.

Ken Ham grounds you in the foundations of creation as a basis for defending our precious faith. His ninety-second presentation of what possibly happened at the beginning of the Flood will remind you of the judgment God has for those who reject His plan of salvation and will motivate you to share that plan immediately if not sooner.

Marshall Foster was incredible with his presentation of world history from a Biblical foundation. All in all, the 10 hours of driving to get there was well spent. Thank you Ray, Kirk, Todd, EZ and Trish for your sacrifice. I know it was a lot of work but well worth it.

John Speed and Tim "Crawdaddy" Crawford were equal to the task of organizing nearly 500 sold-out Christians to hit the streets of Atlanta and witness to the lost. They even hit the B.E.T. awards and "jacked them up!!" I am so blessed to be a part of the true church.
