Genesis 37 - 41
It was 1997. I had just come on staff at Champion Forest Baptist Church. And I went to a conference in Southern California with a group from our church, a lot of the guys from the music office. And we were there at Saddleback, Rick Warren's church, and we were going through the conference. It was a great conference.

I know that's not a good ride. He said, "Oh no, you'll love it." I should have noticed the sign as I was going up to the ride, "Not for pregnant women, people who get dizzy, pastors or wimps." I didn't read that sign.
