It's all in the attitude, dude

Many years ago when i was a pastor, there was a kid in my youth group named Derrick. He had suffered an aneurysm just before I got to the church and was in a wheelchair. He was almost fully paralyzed on the left side of his body. We prayed for him much, of course, but he was never fully healed.

Derrick had a great attitude, however, much of which probably came from his wonderful parents, and his faith in God.

Well, now he is a comedian, and he performed at my 25th college reunion last week! I had no idea, so it was quite a surprise. We got reacquainted and I was very heartened by the full life he is leading, and the poitive influence he is having. Besides doing comedy he runs an adult sports league in Atlanta, and has two clothing lines.

Here's a taste of his comedy.
