Which Reminds Me

Yes, we all, at least many of us, have read that book, "Run, Baby, Run," authored by Nicky Cruz, in which he tells his amazing testimony of being transformed from an evil gangster roaming the streets of New York City, to a normal ordinary person living somewhere in American suburbia, by the salvation that is available freely to all, as explained to him by the illustrious American preacher , the late Dave Wilkerson, who was well known in his time and founded the famous Teen Challenge organization which ministers to and tries to rescue various drug addicts and street gang people. I think that is a nice story to read about in a book whenever you have a copy in hand eventually. They do good work, certainly. 

Someone was suggesting that Cruz has preferred not to pursue political power, he being at an end of his "Challenge" rope due to various life circumstances, because even when these people are reformed, sometimes they have lifelong problems incurred during their earlier years of rebellious living. 

Ok, fine, I get that, although that was not my thought, but whatever. I really do not need the headache of electoral politics and/or Teen Challenge.
