He is charming. He is optimistic. He is good looking. And he doesn't really preach. If I had to go to church, I'd want to go to his church. I can't help it. He may not have gone the traditional route, but I like his stuff. It's more "Tony Robbins" than church, but it's definitely "feel good". He was just on Fox promoting his shindig at Yankees Stadium. The very first non sport event. (they have to pay for that stadium somehow ...) from http://www.lohud.com/article/2009904220354 "Considering that he is fast becoming the most popular preacher in the country, Joel Osteen doesn't act or sound like a preacher at all. He has no seminary training and can hardly talk about any religion other than his own brand of creamy, fat-free Christianity (all the hope, none of the sin). He prefers telling endearing domestic stories about himself and his 21st-century friends and relatives to rehashing the dusty tales of Scripture. When he preaches at the new Yankee Stadium on Saturday, becoming the first nonbaseball attraction there, he will be his humble, likable, wavy-haired self and nothing more. "I feel like I don't need to preach. I just want to talk to the people," he said. "My gift is to help encourage people. I'm more than happy to leave other things, other areas, to other pastors, who have different gifts."" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:295772 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
