I received this a few days ago and I wanted to share it with all my friends. First of all, it reminds me how quickly time passes. Second, this is God’s way of telling me that when I offer advice to people, speak the truth. I remember the conversation I had years ago with this young man….and it paid off. Here it is….

 I know you’re not gonna remember this, but about 10 years ago I contacted you about what you went through at the second city.  You gave me some great advice and insight.  I moved to Chicago and made it through conservatory and all the auditions, and even became a regular performer at the iO.  Now I’m traveling all over the Midwest working bars and comedy clubs as a standup.  Just cutting my teeth as a feature act for a lot of the bookers and talent agencies out there.  I saw you when I was 15 at the Illinois Christian Teen Convention in Springfield, IL.  You’re the first comic I ever saw live, and I knew its what I wanted to do.  I’m not a Christian Comedian, but rather a comedian who happens to be Christian.  I’m doing this for a living as a clean comic.  My first church gig is in a couple months.  Not exactly sure why I’m sending you this, but I sort of feel like I should thank you.  Seeing you inspired me, and your advice helped me.  Thank you.
