Took this post from my sister-in-law's blog. My brother still is my favorite pastor on this earth (sorry Rick Warren and the numerous other pastors I know, Don wins this one). Here is why:

Did I read somewhere, "Like father, like son"..."A leaf does not fall far from the tree"?

I hear that Don's father is so humble.

But one warning...don't get behind this pastor in the pizza buffet line.
