Hail to the Chiefs - How I Officiated at a Wedding in the Presence of Two Presidents: "I recently officiated at a ceremony, where both Presidents Bush and their First Ladies were in attendance. They hardly ever attend private events, so this was very special for everyone who was in attendance. My wife, Liat, and I wondered if we would get to meet them or not. We ended up not only meeting them, but having some very pleasant one-on-one time with the forty-third president.

Prophet, pundit or newsman - America's Confusion
Prophet, pundit or newsman - America's Confusion: "The humblest expositor of the scripture is a hundred times less likely to be heard than an economist, psychiatrist, politician and a thousand other experts in their respective fields. Isn’t it appropriate that God chooses dumbbells, farmers, fishermen and the general off scouring of the world to produce a message that for some will determine their entire future destiny?
