• One of my favorite illustrations: A child and his father build a little boat. Once they try it in the waters, the river takes it away and the child loses his little boat. Three months later he sees his little boat for sale in a store in town. He speaks to the salesperson and says that the boat he was selling belongs to him. The salesperson said, if you want this boat you must pay for it. So, the boy goes over to his father and asks him to give him money to buy the boat. The father agrees. Once the child buys the boat and says to his little boat; "Now, you are mine twice. One because I created you and the second because I bought you."

• Hobbies: I like to play chess, read and play handball.
• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: Re think your life over before you continue living it that way.
• Something funny that happened while preaching: As I was preaching in Brooklyn, N.Y. there was a 3 step stool to get to the altar, but it was not nailed to the altar. It was just placed by the altar. And, as I tried to come down from the altar, under the fire of the sermon, I stepped to the edge of the stool and the stool flipped and I fell right by the first pews of the church.
• What I want on my tombstone: All the glory belongs to GOD! I am not dead. I am in heaven!
