Speaking of FBC Howe, Brother Roger Tidwell is seeking a heart for his transplant. He told us last night that he's seeking an attorney's heart, due to being slightly used. Being able to present the Norman Dickey Award was quite an honor. Yes, it was short and sweet because if it had been much longer there might have been a tear or two pop out - and like Leon Thornhill said last night, "if you don't cry, you ain't a man." Well, I nearly showed my manhood, so to speak.
