Someone recently sent this in an email, referring to rick:

“I was impacted by how gracious and personable Rick was.  A few years later he still remembered me when I greeted him after a weekend service following a Purpose Driven Church Conference I had attended.  Then later at another conference I was at, he still remembered my name when we spoke briefly.”

pretty cool. you can tell a lot about a person when you look at how well he treats people he doesn’t need to treat well…
