Fw: Fwd: Fw: GREAT READ....: Kurtis and

[Guest guest]

I saw Kurt on the "Hour of Power" many years ago after he fell from grace with the LA Rams - a professional football team for those of you who do not know. He had had a typical rags to riches life and just when he was at the top of his game, his skills seemed to just vaporize overnight and along with it his fame and fortune. When he spoke at the Crystal Cathedral, he uttered no word of disappointment nor discouragement only optimism and that somehow, someway, with the help from above he would return to glory. His positive thinking has paid off and the day he had hoped and prayed for finally arrived yesterday as the Arizona Cardinals won their playoff game and find themselves going to the Superbowl. It

couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!!
