BUSH































It was a super opportunity this evening to be part of the Teen Challenge Banquet at the Frontier Center in downtown Milwaukee to hear former President George W. Bush speak. It was the largest attended banquet Teen Challenge has ever had -- anywhere anytime. About 2,700 people were there.

George W. Bush spoke about his own past journey with nicotine and alcohol and his identification with some of the struggles Teen Challenge enrollees experience and injected hope into the lives of those present. He is unflaggingly 'normal,' likable, optimistic and anecdotal and it was a great pleasure to see and hear him in person tonight.

And be blessed.
