Ben Haden, President of Changed Lives, loves Cracker Barrel. So do I. The country ham biscuit is a perfect way to start the morning. The chain began in Lebanon, TN. and I was a customer way back then...and there.
Stories of my parents, his dear wife who recently transferred to heaven, and all things current kept us munching for nearly 90 minutes. Dad once asked a small group of friends, "How do you define Jesus?" Ben answered, "My best friend." That response stayed with Dad to the end and inspired him as he lived out his own faith walk.
We took a tour of the Changed Lives offices, including the theater built for his TV show. When you hear someone on the radio, or see them on TV, you don't think of all that it takes behind the scenes. As we stepped through one room, Ben warned, "Watch out for the wires." I think that would be a good subtitle ----
Chattanooga was the last overnight stop on the trip. Sharing the ultimate day with a dear friend of our family was a special way to begin the final trek. There is line in a Christian song ---"I'm a life that's been changed." Ben Haden, a former CIA agent, newspaper publisher, and business CEO, knows what a changed life in Jesus truly looks like!
