Catholic and Enjoying It!
Today, my minions, I command you to consider this information from a reader in Fargo:
Have you seen this?
Interesting story, this man is about to become incredibly famous. I hope his impending fame will not go to his head. A movie will be coming out in late September about his life called “Machine Gun Preacher”.
And he’s originally from “North Dakota” and grew up in Minnesota…so that makes sense.
Childress is a former Biker-Gang, Drug-Dealer, Criminal who became an Evangelical, goes to Sudan for mission work, he builds the largest Orphanage there for children whose parents were murdered, protects them with his own group of paid militia, and in his spare time, collects intelligence, organizes and goes with militia to hunt down the rapists, machete murderers, and save orphans which are being sold into slavery or made to become soldiers against their will. He has specifically been trying for years to hunt down this man who is the Pol Pot of the Sudan that the entire world is after.
Small excerpt from the story in Vanity Fair.
Trailer from the movie starring Gerard Butler:
Might be interesting to get your commentary on this if you get time and it is of any interest.
I found about this story.. because fellow Seatllite, Chris Cornell, from the band Soundgarden, just released a single for the film called “The Keeper” which I stumbled upon.
No real commentary to add except, “Christ sure seems fond of eccentric and interesting people.”
