| Introduction | I hate to argue but I love having the last word. Talk is cheap, put up or shut up. When I was little mama said "If dancing wasn't a sin Kip could make a living at it." Love to make people laugh even at my own expense. I have never wanted to do anything but become an actor. I love the 1940's. I would love to play drums in an all black college marching band. Aiight!!! I think about street orphans everyday especially those iin the slums of Nairobi. I fantasize about making millions and spending it replacing the garbage heaps there with housing, playgrounds and schools for tens of thousands. I cannot and will not accept the excuses and reasons for war when every country has failed to put hungry and orphaned children first. I believe that those who have the least give the most. I cannot wait to see the meek inherit the earth. The thing I remember most about people is their laughter. The Holy Spirit is the most mysterious and beautiful gift I have ever been given. The Presence has been proven and manifested most powerfully in those places and times where all else and all others have failed. |
