Most Embarrassing Moment: I had gotten sick (throwing up) on a nationally televised webcast while preaching for Suff. Bish.

After the service, friends called from out of town to ask if I was okay...”leave the OJ alone before ministering.” Plus, in another instance of ministry, I received a $30 offering...and the offering came in an envelop with only coins.
