As the new associate pastor, I was preaching my second sermon. A ten-year old boy sat on the front pew, swinging his feet. I tried to remember my sermon but was mesmerized by his swinging feet. After a while, I gave it up and had the people stand for the benediction. That chubby little guy came up to me afterwards and said, "Brother Bill, how about coming to our house and having lunch?" I thought, Well, he owes me that. So I went, and met his family. I returned to college and forgot the incident. Until a couple of weeks later, when I went to my mailbox and pulled out a letter with loose contents. As I opened it, out fell 57 cents in pennies, nickels, and dimes, plus a letter from that boy. "Dear Brother Bill," it read, "I'm sending you my egg money to help you go to school to learn to be a better preacher."I added the quote at the bottom to my database. Don Shula graduated from John Carroll University in 1951.
