For instance, if you are so bored during an evening of insomnia as to watch the entire three hours of raw video from the trip of a lifetime in 89 or 90 you can see interesting stuff i.e. Bro. and Mrs. Hyles interacting with old church members from their Texas days, the absolute fawning man worship that Bro. Hyles cultivated, or perhaps the interactions of the group traveling from Hammond to Texas on the bus, how they stopped at a several churches of high reputation pastored by HAC grads with big reps, and how every single one of those graduates later made hash of his ministry. Stuff like that makes you sad, makes you realize that promoting pragmatism and man worship and numbers almost inevitably results in a bankrupt ministry and a shattered reputation. You sit in your chair, late at night and early in the morning, and wonder about what might have been for those men's ministries, where it all went wrong, and what the final story of your own ministry will be. Hypothetically speaking
it could potentially be a sobering experience...

Wow. That video took me back. I stayed and watched a few others. Didn't see myself in any, or prophet either. Did see many familiar faces - some family. Remember when........

We were all so full of illusions that we thought were dreams.

I did not watch Jack's video.......
My dad went to Heaven 2.5 years ago after a 59 year marriage. No video about their lives & marriage were produced.......but neither were scandals, rumors or self-promoted legends.
Dad was passionate about his wife and family, a hard-nosed career Marine, the one who gave me a love for fishin. Many a time when he was asked to pray later in life he would weep as he again would tell Jesus how he appreciate His love. He is buried in a country cemetery with a USMC headstone near where Mom lives. She still misses him & seems a little lost without him........but mention him & everyone in the family smiles. His church erected a tall flagpole & laid a marble stone with his name engraved thereon at it's base honoring his humble service & soul-winning.

C'mooon.... You know you still slip into those nylons at home when no one is watching, just to feel good about yourself and assure yourself that you really are right with God.
