His pastoral experience still plays a large role in his current ministry. Plus, those years gave him plenty of stories. Like the one where he followed the choir out onto the platform with a long piece of toilet paper stuck to his shoe. Giggling and snorting had erupted across the congregation. I just whipped it around my leg and stayed behind the pulpit.
Home is where the humor is D ennis loves home.
That's a pretty good sign that he's got his priorities straight. If that's not enough, at 46 years old he still calls his parents and in-laws several times a week. Those consisted of preserves, butter, lettuce, tomatoes, sugar, whatever they wanted. Then they'd dream of what kind of meat they wished was in it. On rare occasions they'd get a bit of potted meat or Spam.
