There was a deafening silence in LW when they heard that PHC going to San Francisco. They think that SF is the home of topless bars, hippies, and gays. They have a definite sense of right and wrong. Not everything bad in the world is caused by misunderstanding. GK believes in right and wrong. When you lose your sense of sin, you lose your interest in life and become a kind of spectator. GK came to SF to promote his book on daytime TV. When you go on TV, you get fly first class. Behind the curtain, the passengers and their goats and sheep were herded in to sit on the floor. The captain turned off the No cooking" sign, they built fires and started boiling beans. We're here on earth to do something better than ride in first class. When you get to heaven, God will decide who you will be. GK's first radio program had a very sick little girl named Jenny who played the auto harp. Down in the southern hollers, people believe that a very sick child will say something spiritual. People pass this word on. Jenny was white as a sheet and played the auto harp and sang "Ring those golden bells". GK sat behind a coffee table. Jenny threw her arms around him and she was hot with fever. GK was afraid of catching her sickness and tried to her Jenny onto the chair. Jenny said, God wants you to cut out some of this garbage." GK said, "Let's have little Jenny back again." Jenny said. God really means it." The next guest was Blind Brian Petersen. He had a set of golf dubs in the trunk of his car. They played a round of great golf together. Brian told him that the secret of happiness was, "It all depends."
