The First Time I Met Larry Burkett
--Larry Burkett 1939-2003--
It was 6:00am and I was sitting with my back to the door eating Fruit Loops. I didn’t realize he was there until he had pulled out the chair next to me and sat down.
My Fruit Loops quickly lost their luster.
Here was a guy that had founded Crown, sold millions of books, and was speaking to 2.1 million people on the radio every week. And was sitting across the table from me at breakfast. Asking questions about my life.
Didn’t he know that he was the interesting one?
In a few short minutes, he made an impression that would mark my life forever. It was evident that he genuinely cared about people; that he genuinely cared about me.
I am grateful that the Lord gave me 2 years of interaction with this humble servant.
