Which Reminds Me

When the Bible talks about the house of David, I do not need to explain that is not a reference to the Wilkerson family, of whom nothing is known. We assume that probably David Wilkerson had a family as do all of those high-flown traveling preachers but we have no personal connection whatever to them, no knowledge whatever of their personal identities outside the limelight. I don't know why I was never interested in working for Teen Challenge, which harbors a variety of delinquents. David gave generous scholarships to the Hittenberger boys who helped him in Haiti, but we weren't expecting him to do us any favors. There was a showing of the movie in El Salvador but David never made any personal appearance there at the time we were there so we really wouldn't know anything about how that happened or why we are constantly reproached for not getting the money. Whatever. Anyway, didn't that David died in a violent car crash? So obviously the Bible had a different David in mind.
