\"\"<\/a>Back in the summer of 1980, I sold books door-to-door for the Southwestern Book Company. My territory was northern Wisconsin. In Antigo, by chance, I met a fellow named Bill Kawalski (not his real name). Bill was wild about Jesus. He was some sort of regional rep for Campus Crusade for Christ. He also had about 400 ski-mobile trophies. Put it this way, he was a local star.<\/p>\n

On my way to becoming Anglican, I wasn\u2019t particularly into the guitar-strumming, hand-holding, testimonial-type-stuff. But, Bill was a nice guy and we formed a friendship. He liked to ride a ten-speed and would often loan me one and we\u2019d go riding through the Wisconsin countryside. All this kept leading up to two events. The first was a prayer meeting at his house with about 30 other teens & twenty-somethings. I survived. The other was: Bill and I went bar-hopping.<\/p>\n

Now, before you get the wrong idea, Bill didn\u2019t drink. Rather, as I observed on our only outing, he would walk into a bar \u2026 heads would turn, lots of greetings, and he would then belly-up. Since he was a regular, the bartender already knew what Bill wanted. Even though I rarely drink it, in every bar I said, \u201cI\u2019ll have the same.\u201d MILK<\/em><\/strong>. Yep, Bill would order a glass of milk and talk about the Lord for about 30 minutes in each bar. He was, as I said, of local fame and well liked. I must admit, to me, our first stop seemed kinda hokey. If you know Wisconsin, you know that it doesn\u2019t require much travel to go from one bar to the next. We hit quite a few that night, on our ten-speeds \u2026 all milked up.<\/p>\n

Naturally, when I hear of \u201cbar ministry\u201d I think of that story.<\/p>\n

But Mollie asks: Got Beer?<\/a><\/p>\n

As for this next \u201cspecialized ministry\u201d \u2026 Y\u2019all, I just don\u2019t know<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here\u2019s an excerpt from an AP wire story<\/a>:<\/p>\n

RIVERSIDE, Calif. \u2013<\/strong> Heather Veitch is not your typical evangelical Christian.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 31-year-old married mother of two visits one strip club a month, paying for lap dances so she can talk to the strippers about God.<\/p>\n

The Web site for the ministry she formed with two other women \u2013 JC\u2019s Girls Girls Girls \u2013 features glamour shots of the three that were taken by a porn film director.<\/p>\n

The three attend porn conventions, where they pass out Bibles wrapped in T-shirts that read Holy Hottie.<\/p>\n

HT <\/span><\/em>THUNDERSTRUCK<\/span><\/em><\/a>
<\/span><\/em>
For what it\u2019s worth, the \u201cformer\u201d porn star\u2019s pastor \u2014 whose church, Sandals Church of Riverside, is contributing $50,000 to her ministry this year \u2014 said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat good would it do to send the \u2018church lady\u2019 to an erotica convention?\u201d Brown said. \u201cShe\u2019s going to get laughed out of the building.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Veitch [the \u201cformer\u201d porn star] doesn\u2019t think the women [current porn stars] should have to quit their jobs before entering a church.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we say to that is, \u2018Do we ask gluttons to stop eating too much before they come to church?\u2019 \u201d Veitch said. \u201cSin is sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

(I\u2019m thinking, I\u2019m thinking \u2026)<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what ever happened to my pal, Kawalski. He\u2019d be knocking on 50 by now. But, old-fashioned sensibilities lead me to conclude that if gals like Heather had ever encountered guys like Bill \u2026 well, they\u2019d be a lot better off. I don\u2019t think they frequented the same clubs. More than that, I\u2019m not sure they believe[d] the same things.<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019ll go have a glass of milk.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
