I didn’t get to enter Canada. Why? A DUI charge on my record from almost 20 years ago, plus another interesting incident when I was 19. If you’re really interested, you can find all my dirty laundry in my new book, Confessions of a Good Christian Guy, available for pre-order and releasing from Thomas Nelson December 10th. (Hate to promote it that way, but there you go!) From 20 years ago, you’ve got to be kidding me!? Needless to say, I’m very disappointed. I was just speaking in Canada this past May. This hit me out of the blue, no warning, nothing. I’ll have more to say about this later, but be forewarned: If you have any run-ins with the law from your past, DUI, failure to appear in court, etc., you will be refused entry into Canada. I cannot believe that our government is releasing the records of private United States citizens to a foreign country. Especially when many of these records are non-violent in nature. What’s our world coming to? The BIg Brother of George Orwell’s book, 1984, is alive and well. To all my Canadian friends: Thanks for you support of me personally. Your words and friendship mean the world. By the way, our God forgives mistakes. He doesn’t hold them over your head and provides grace for the sinner. That’s me, that’s you. Who cares what governments do, we exist for a greater and higher purpose!
