Brenda had posted a thing on facebook about the Machine Gun Preacher coming to her church. We had talked about the movie. She and her family had watched it prior to him coming to her church. I thought it would be interesting to go hear what the man had to say.
I'm not sure what I expected, but that wasn't totally it. I knew it was church so there would be preaching. And the man is a preacher. So here are my thoughts. He is charismatic. Puts on a good show. Moves the people. Does a lot of good work. I had hoped for more information about his time in Africa and what he did there. I understand he was testifying about his story and to solicit money for his projects.
Once I got home and had a little time to think about it. He reminded me of my dad walking around up there on stage. Not that my dad would ever preach. Couldn't put my finger on it right away and then of course it hit me. He makes my brain click. Nope he's not an alcoholic. Just a recovering drug addict. And guess what......they make my brain click also. Just charming. And that is like my dad.
It was interesting and not a waste of my time. Now maybe I will have to watch the movie or read one of his books.
