People are friendly, kind, nice, and will, on occasion, applaud a preacher’s open air sermon! Below, my 9-year-old daughter D.D. makes a very confident open air preaching debut,

“A lady had a stroke right in the line at the DMV!”

The Emmy Awards started, so everyone left, but there was still an organic congregation of about 100 people to preach to: the leftover crowd, ushers in their natty red suits, posses of LAPD, and assorted hangers-on. I found a wall to climb on and with a little humor to start my sermonette, I let ‘er
