Clark Kellogg

Living in Columbus, Ohio I heard of Clark Kellogg before he even moved here, as he played in the State High School Championship and scored 51 points in one game. (The record is held by Jerry Lucas at 53.)

Everyone knew he was going to be special as a basketball player. I don't know if anyone could have guessed Clark would grow to be a man of such fine character. I would get invited to many golf tournaments and Clark would be playing in them. I would get invited to a breakfast or luncheon and Clark would be speaking.

I was so impressed by the way he carried himself and the good he did for this town. One day he came to the golf club where I was a member. Watching him play through the trees as he was with his father. They were having such a good time.

I remember saying, "This guy is for real. What makes him so different?" A few years later the Columbine Tragedy occurred and I knew this world needed a different direction.

I knew I needed a different direction so after playing music till 2:00 am I remembered a church that was in front of my old high school so I went and sat in the parking lot.

A month before I was playing golf with my son, a man whom I just met - Ron Burton invited me to come to the same church.

I accepted Christ in my life that day and ask God to forgive of my sins.

As I looked up from my prayer and with tears in my eyes, the first person I seen was Clark Kellogg and from that day on, I knew why he was so different.

Three years later I was invited to a breakfast where Clark was speaking that morning and if I had one chance to talk to someone and would never be able to speak to them again, I would say to them, what Clark said that morning.

I ask you, please take thirty minutes in a nice relaxed place and listen to this show. And please feel free to share this message.
