Super Smart Shopper

by Bruce on February 4, 2010

I recently led a seminar for the Martha Road Baptist Church in Altus, Oklahoma. The people there are wonderful! And it was great to see my friends Pastor Kevin and Mari Kayla Baker again.

Little did I know that I would learn more than anyone while in Altus. Mari Kayla took me on a shopping trip. She is one of the smartest shoppers I have seen.

I took over 30 minutes of video on this shopping trip and have condensed it to 10 minutes. If you like reality tv, you will love this!
