I've been reading about gambling and gamblers lately. There's a world renown Poker "expert" player named Doyle Brunson. He's been a champion poker player since the 1950's. He's gotten very rich playing poker tournaments and such.
He grew up Baptist, and his parents were strong Christian types. Anyway,, years ago his daughter died, she was pretty young I think. That changed his life. He now claims to be a Christian, and is known to leave tournaments and games to go to church.
What I find the most interesting is not that he's still gambling professionaly even after coming back to the Lord. What's the most interesting is his pastor is a friend of his. This pastor goes with him to tournaments if possible. They hold bible studies during the tournaments! The preacherman says, he sees alot of people playing that need help. All he wants to do is try to help them.
So, this poker champion, turned Christian, brings his preacherman friend with him to tournaments, and they have bible studies with alot of other poker players. Awesome! God can go anywhere!
