While visiting Houston, my boyfriend and I decided to visit Joel Osteen's church. We'd heard about it and watched him on television. We woke up bright and early to attend the 8:30am service. The parking garage was massive and the church (which is in an old NBA basketball stadium) was simply impressive.
When we walked into the door, we were greeted instantly by Vernelle C. She was so excited to see us and to tell us about all of the wonderful experiences at Lakewood Church. You could tell that she felt that morning she was sent specifically to welcome us!
Vernelle showed us around the complex and took us into the church. Our eyes widened as we looked at the place of worship. We thought we'd find a seat toward the back somewhere, but Vernelle said "You're gonna get VIP treatment today!".
Who would have known that her VIP treatment really was VIP. Next thing we know, we are headed to the front row in the front of the church. It was a truly remarkable experience!
After the service on our way out the door, Vernelle caught us again. She had that same twinkle in her eye. It was truly a blessing to have met her and I hope to see her again.
