FAMOUS PEOPLE

Do you know anyone famous? Maybe relatives or ancestors who did something incredible?

Once I worked part time at a luxury condo in Minneapolis as a security guard letting residents in and out of the complex. One late night a man entered whom I didn't recognize. As he began walking past me at the door, I spoke up "Excuse me, sir..." and was about to ask who he was. He turned to me and a big smile on his face he says, "I'm Dave Winfield" and shook my hand. I felt like I turned 10 shades of red with embarrassment at not recognizing the all-star Major League Baseball player. Sure enough, he owned one of the condos but was so rarely there, I hadn't met him.

Do you know the most famous man of all time? Jesus? Or have you only heard of him and his reputation?
