Chuck Norris

This morning I shall share my Chuck Norris story…

About 10 years ago, I was at a Christian bookstore in California. I had walked into one of the large hallways to get a little bit of quiet to call my son, Ryan (who was about 10 – 11 years old).

While we were talking, Chuck Norris came down the hall to do an interview with a radio station that was at a booth about 30 feet from me.

My son was too young to know who Chuck Norris was but, since he was at his grandparents house, I told him to ask his grandpa if I should go over and kick Chuck Norris’ butt. When Ryan did, all I could hear was Grandpa Tim laughing in the background.

I would have taken offense but it was Chuck Norris. I’m glad he didn’t over hear me =)
