So, yeah.

My friend Joel has found me. In cyberworld. He sends me all sorts of important pieces of information. Like today he sent me this tidbit:

Joel will be in Tampa for two evenings of worship, bringing a message of inspiration, hope, and encouragement to your city.

We are looking for volunteers to help us make these events a great success! We invite you to be one of 300 volunteers each night for the upcoming An Evening with Joel. As a token of our appreciation, we provide two free tickets and a special gift.

Can’t be a volunteer? Don’t miss this exciting time of worship, praise and hope with Joel. The music of Cindy and the Ensemble will inspire and encourage you. Purchase your tickets now:

OK, so let me get this straight. I could volunteer to be an usher or something of the sort (which would cost me an arm and a leg, coming from France), OR I could PAY to hear Joel speak. I wonder how much the Gospel costs these days?? Oh, but wait! I get a “special gift.” That should make it worth it!
