Lee: PORTLAND'S
TRAILBLAZING COACH.
MY MAIN GOAL IS TO HELP
OUR PLAYERS GET BETTER.
Lee: ONE DRUG DEALER'S
LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO BEAT
THE ADDICTION.
I REMEMBER STICKING A GUN
SO HARD IN MY TEMPLE, I
WANTED TO END IT.
Lee: PLUS, THE
REVOLUTIONARY NEW TREATMENT
THAT IS STOPPING THE EFFECTS
OF LOU GEHRIG'S DISEASE.
PUT IT BACK ON, AND THE
TREMORS SUBSIDE.
Lee: ON TODAY'S "THE
700 CLUB."
*
[APPLAUSE]
Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
AMERICA IS TALKING ABOUT THE
POWERBALL LOTTERY.
IT HIT, I THINK,
$580 MILLION.
Terry: UNBELIEVABLE.
Pat: AND THEY HAD TO
WINNERS.
ONE OUT IN ARIZONA AND THE
OTHER -- I DON'T KNOW WHERE
IT IS --
Terry: MISSOURI.
Pat: WELL, I ASKED OUR
RESEARCH DEPARTMENT IF THEY
WOULD FIND OUT FOR ME WHERE
THE MONEY GOES.
NOW THIS HAS GOT 33 MEMBER
LOTTERIES.
LISTEN TO THIS.
THERE IS A MULTI-STATE
LOTTERY ASSOCIATION.
50% GOES TO THE STATES, 35%
IS PROFIT, AND IT GOES TO
STATE PROGRAMS.
SOME 42 STATES, PLUS
WASHINGTON, D.C. AND THE
U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS
PARTICIPATED IN THIS
LOTTERY.
AND HALF OF THE PROCEEDS GO
TO THE LOTTERY POOL AND 7%
GOES TO THE RETAILERS, SO
7-ELEVEN AND THOSE GUYS, AND
THE REST CAN BE SPENT ON
STATES ON A WIDE VARIETY OF
PROGRAMS.
THE WINNERS GOT $180 MILLION
A PIECE.
AND THERE WAS ANOTHER GROUP
OF PEOPLE WHO SPLIT A
MILLION DOLLAR A PIECE
MELON.
DID YOU GET A TICKET?
Terry: I DID NOT GET A
TICKET.
I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BUT --
Pat: I DID NOT,
EITHER.
Terry: I NEVER MADE IT
TO 7-ELEVEN.
Pat: THE CHANCE OF
BEING HIT BY A METEOR IS
ABOUT THE SAME AS WINNING
THAT LOTTERY.
Terry: YOU KNOW, I JUST
THINK, ESPECIALLY IN TIMES
LIKE THIS, WHERE THINGS ARE
DIFFICULT FOR SO MANY
PEOPLE, THAT JUST THE SHEAR
DREAM OF BEING ABLE TO GET
OUT OF DEBT OR TO HAVE
ENOUGH FOR YOUR DAY-TO-DAY
NEEDS, I THINK, DRIVES
PEOPLE TO THE LINES TO DRIVE
THOSE TICKETS.
AND THEN YOU HEAR THE
STORIES OF THE LIVES OF THE
PEOPLE WHO WON, AND THAT'S A
LITTLE SCARY.
Pat: I HAD A LAWYER WHO
WORKED FOR ONE OF THE
PEOPLE, AND THE GUY WAS JUST
CURSED.
HE WAS CURSED AFTER HE WON.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT DRUG
ADDICTION.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT SUICIDE.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT FINANCIAL
DISASTER.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY
TAKE ON THIS -- AND THEN
WE'LL GET ON SOMETHING
ELSE -- THE STATES, THE
GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, AND THE SEVERAL
STATES, SHOULD NOT BE
ENTICING THEIR CITIZENS TO
GO FOR GET-RICH-QUICK
SCHEMES.
THEY HAVE NO VALIDITYITIES
OVER.
AND THESE LITTLE PEOPLE ARE
ON PAYDAY, PUTTING OUT THEIR
$5 AND $10, AND GETTING
THOSE LITTLE TICKETS, AND IT
IS JUST AWFUL.
AND YET THERE IS A BIG LOBBY
FOR IT BECAUSE THE
7-ELEVENs AND THE PEOPLE
WHO SELL THESE THINGS MAKE A
LOT OF MONEY.
Terry: THE STATE, GOOD
GRIEF.
Pat: WELL, THEY GET A
LOT, BUT THERE IS A PRIVATE
ORGANIZATION THAT IS FUELING
THE DEAL.
IT IS A BIG LOBBYING
EFFORT.
BUT, FOLKS, THERE IS A WAY
TO GET WEALTH, AND IT ISN'T
BY HITTING THE LOTTERY.
WE'VE TOLD YOU OVER AND OVER
AGAIN GOD'S PRINCIPLES OF
WEALTH CREATION.
AND IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
EXPEDENTIAL CURVE AND
COMPOUNDING INTEREST, AND
THAT SORT OF THING, THAT'S
THE WAY TO GET IT.
IT IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK.
SO MUCH FOR MY TIRADE, BUT,
NO, I DIDN'T PLAY.
I DIDN'T GET A TICKET AND I
DIDN'T WIN, AND NEITHER DID
TERRY.
Terry: THAT DRAWING,
THE WINNING TICKETS CAME
AFTER PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY WAITED IN LINE
LITERALLY FOR HOURS, IN THE
HOPES OF WINNING THAT MEGA
JACKPOT.
DALE HERD HAS THE STORY.
Reporter: POWERBALL
OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED
OVERNIGHT THE WINNING
TICKETS WERE SOLD IN
MISSOURI AND ARIZONA.
THE PRIZE IS THE BIGGEST IN
POWERBALL HISTORY.
THE TWO WINNERS WILL SPLIT
THE $587.5 MILLION JACKPOT.
THE REST OF THE NEARLY
$9 MILLION LESSER PRIZE
WINNERS WILL SPLIT
$131 MILLION.
THE HALF-BILLION JACKPOT
SPARKED LINES LIKE THESE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
IN NORTH CAROLINA, THEY WERE
ALREADY COUNTING THEIR
MILLIONS.
I WOULD TAKE CARE OF MY
FAMILY, PAY MY BILLS OFF AND
TRAVEL THE WORLD.
WHEN WE WIN, WE'RE GOING
TO BUY A BASKETBALL TEAM IN
ISRAEL.
I COULD TAKE A HELICOPTER
TO WORK IF I WON.
Reporter: IN SOUTH
PHILLY, EVERYONE HOLDING A
TICKET WAS HOPING THEY HAD
THE WINNER.
I'M GOING TO GIVE 10% TO
GOD ALMIGHTY, TO MY CHURCH,
AND GIVE THE REST TO MY WIFE
AND KIDS.
Reporter: EXPERTS SAY
STATISTICALLY, YOU HAVE THE
SAME CHANCE OF BEING STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING 175 TIMES IN
ONE YEAR.
IT'S A TOUGH SELL FOR
FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS LIKE
CARBER GOYNE, ESPECIALLY THE
CONCEPT OF WINNING A FORTUNE
WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK FOR
IT.
THE REALITY IS WE COULD
DO A LOT BETTER WITH OUR
MONEY THAN SPENDING IT ON
LOTTERY TICKETS.
Reporter: STUDIES HAVE
SHOWN IN TERMS OF OVERALL
HAPPINESS, LOTTERY WINNERS
ARE NOT SIGNIFICANTLY
HAPPIER THAN NON-LOTTERY
WINNERS.
AND WE'VE HEARD PEOPLE WHO
BLEW THROUGH THEIR
WINNINGS.
PEOPLE HAVE GONE BANKRUPT
AFTER WINNING THE LOTTERY.
THEY GET OVEREXTENDED.
Reporter: AND THE
POWERBALL WINNERS WILL HAVE
TO FORK OVER 25% OF THE
JACKPOT TO UNCLE SAM IN
TAXES.
DALE HERD, CBN NEWS.
Pat: GOOD STORY, DALE.
LATER ON, WE'LL BE ANSWERING
THE QUESTION, IS IT A SIN TO
PLAY THE LOTTERY?
AND SPEAKING OF MONEY, THERE
IS STILL NO DEAL IN
WASHINGTON ON HOW TO FIX THE
FEDERAL DEFICIT.
LEE WEBB HAS THAT STORY FROM
THE CBN NEWS ROOM.
Lee: THAT'S RIGHT,
PAT.
TIMOTHY GEITHNER AND A TOP
WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL ARE
HEADING TO CAPITOL HILL
TODAY TO MEET WITH
CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS.
THEY WILL TALK ABOUT COMING
UP WITH A DEAL TO AVOID THE
FISCAL CLIFF, INCLUDING HOW
TO HANDLE TAXES AND SPENDING
CUTS.
AND THE CONSERVATIVE LEADER,
WHO IS LEADING THE CHARGE
AGAINST NEW TAXES, ISN'T
BACKING DOWN.
PAUL STRAND HAS THAT STORY
NOW FROM WASHINGTON.
Reporter: THE PUBLIC
POSITIONING BY POLITICIANS
GOES ON WHILE AMERICA MOVES
EVER CLOSER TO THE
JANUARY 1st FISCAL CLIFF.
WHEN FOR MOST AMERICANS,
TAXES WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO
UP.
PRESIDENT OBAMA INSISTS
REPUBLICANS ARE THE HOLD-UP
ON THE BILL THAT WILL STOP
THE TAX HIKES FOR MIDDLE
INCOME FAMILIES.
President Obama:
DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE ARE
READY TO VOTE FOR THAT SAME
BILL TODAY.
IF WE CAN GET A FEW HOUSE
REPUBLICANS TO AGREE AS
WELL, I'LL SIGN THIS BILL AS
SOON AS CONGRESS SENDS IT MY
WAY.
I'VE GOT TO REPEAT, I'VE GOT
A PEN.
I'M READY TO SIGN IT.
Reporter: ANTITAX
ADVOCATE GROVER NORQUIST
CONTINUES TO TAKE HEAT FOR
THE NO TAX HIKE HE CAME UP
WITH THAT ALMOST EVERY
SINGLE LAW MAKER HAS
SIGNED.
BUT HE WOULDN'T BACK DOWN
FROM HIS STANCE THAT
GOVERNMENT DOESN'T NEED NEW
TAX HIKES.
THE GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG
NOW.
WE DON'T WANT IT TO GET ANY
BIGGER.
ALL OF THE EFFORT BY OBAMA
TO RAISE TAXES IS TO EXPAND
GOVERNMENT.
Reporter: AS FOR SOME
REPUBLICANS SI SIGNALING
THEY WANT OUT OF THE PLEDGE,
NORQUIST SAYS THAT IS AN ODD
WAY TO LOOK AT THE PROMISE.
IF SOMEONE WERE TO ASK
YOU IF YOU WERE PRO-CHOICE,
HOW LONG ARE YOU
PRO-CHOICE.
FOR 18 MONTHS.
YOU'RE TELLING PEOPLE, I'M
PRO-LIFE OR WON'T RAISE YOUR
TAXES.
Reporter: NORQUIST SAYS
THERE IS NO STAMPEDE AGAINST
THE PLEDGE, JUST A FEW
MURMURS.
OVER 90% OF REPUBLICANS
HAVE TAKEN THE PLEDGE.
A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE ARE
HAVING IMPURE THOUGHTS.
THEY'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
MAYBE VOTING FOR TAX
INCREASES.
Reporter: HE SUGGESTS
THEY CAVE ONLY IF THE
DEMOCRATS PROMISE AND SIGN
OFF ON HUGE SPENDING CUTS.
PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
Lee: CONSERVATIVES IN
BRITAIN ARE CLAIMING THAT A
NEW HIGH TAX RATE HAS
ACTUALLY COST THEIR
GOVERNMENT MONEY.
THE LONDON TELEGRAPH REPORTS
THAT 16,000 BRITS DECLARED
AN ANNUAL INCOME OF MORE
THAN A MILLION POUNDS IN THE
2009/2010 TAX YEAR.
THAT NUMBER FELL TO JUST
6,000 WHEN THE GOVERNMENT
INTRODUCED THE TAX RATE OF
50%.
ANALYSTS BELIEVE BRITS
SIMPLY MOVED OUT OF THE
COUNTRY AND OTHERS FOUND WAY
TO CUT ITS TAX INCOME.
AND BRITAIN WILL REDUCE THE
TOP RATE TO 45% NEXT YEAR.
SINCE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT BY
THE WAY, THE NUMBER MAKING A
MILLION POUNDS A YEAR HAS
GONE BACK UP.
SENATOR LINDSAY GRAHAM TELLS
CBN NEWS THAT THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION HAS MISLED
AMERICANS OVER THE ATTACK ON
THE U.S. EMBASSY IN
BENGHAZI.
SENATOR GRAHAM SAYS HE IS
DETERMINED TO GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF IT.
SENATOR, HAS THIS
ADMINISTRATION EITHER LIED
OR MISLED OR ANYONE WORSE, A
COVERUP?
WHAT IS YOUR TERMINOLOGY
HERE?
I THINK THE FOG OF WAR --
WAR IS A HARD THING TO
FIGURE OUT.
INCOMPETENCE IS RAMPID, AND
THERE IS DEFINITE
MANIPULATION AND MISLEADING,
IN MY VIEW.
IF GEORGE W. BUSH WERE
PRESIDENT, THIS WOULD BE
FRONT-PAGE NEWS EVERY DAY.
Lee: YOU CAN WATCH MORE
OF THAT INTERVIEW WITH
SENATOR LINDSAY GRAHAM ON
"THE BRODY FILE" AT 9:30
TOMORROW.
AUTHOR ZIG ZIGLER HAS DIED.
HE PASSED AWAY IN A HOSPITAL
AFTER A BOUGHT WITH
PNEUMONIA.
HE GAIN POPULARITY FOR
TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE'S
CAREERS AND LIVES.
ZIGLE WAS A CHRISTIAN, AND
HIS WEB PAGE SAYS HE IS
SPEAKING WITH JESUS NOW.
HE ALSO WROTE MORE THAN 30
BOOKS, INCLUDING
"CONFESSIONS OF A GRIEVING
CHRISTIAN," FOLLOWING THE
DEATH OF HIS OLDEST
DAUGHTER.
HE SHARED HIS INSIGHTS ON
THAT ISSUE ON "THE 700
CLUB."
GRIEVING FOR THE
CHRISTIAN IS LIKE GOING
THROUGH A LONG-WINDING
MOUNTAIN TUNNEL.
YOU KNOW THERE IS AN END TO
IT, BUT YOU JUST DON'T KNOW
WHERE.
SO YOU KEEP GOING, NOT IN
YOUR OWN STRENGTH, BUT IN
THE STREN STRENGTH OF
CHRIST.
AND THEN THE GRACE ENDS WHEN
YOU GET TO THE END OF THE
TUNNEL AND YOU SEE THE LIGHT
SHED, THEíAYVJUk OF CñRIST,
AND YOU SEE YOUR LOVED
Terry: THE PRINCIPLES
OF LIFE IN SOME WAYS -- ONE
OF MY FAVORITE THINGS HE
USED TO SAY IS I HAVE A
SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT WITH THE
AIRLINE, IF I'M NOT THERE ON
TIME, THEY'RE TO LEAVE
WITHOUT ME.
[LAUGHTER]
Terry: WHAT A GREAT
MAN.
Pat: A GREAT MAN.
WE MISS HIM.
TERRY?
Terry: COMING UP,
SCIENTISTS SAY THERE IS NO
CURE FOR A.L A.L.S., BUT
ONE DOCTOR MAY HAVE FOUND
IT.
HEAR ABOUT HIS LIFE-SAVING
DISCOVERY.
THAT'S ALL NEXT.
Pat: A.L.S., COMMONLY
CALLED LOU GEHRIG'S DISEASE,
STRIKES THE RICH, STRIKES
THE POOR, NO RESPECTER OF
PERSONS.
SOMETIMES THE GREATEST MINDS
IN OUR UNIVERSE ARE STRUCK
DOWN BY IT.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE WITH NO
EDUCATION AT ALL.
IT DESTROYS NERVE CELLS.
IT TAKES AWAY A PERSON'S
ABILITY TO CONTROL HIS OR
HER OWN MUSCLES.
THERE IS NO CURE FOR THIS
DREADED DISEASE.
BUT A NEW TREATMENT HAS BEEN
FOUND THAT MIGHT SLOW IT
DOWN.
AND STOP IT BEFORE IT GETS
ANY WORSE.
OUR HEALTH REPORTER, LAURIE
JOHNSON, HAS THAT STORY.
Reporter: ANTHONY KNOWS
ALL ABOUT BEATING THE ODDS.
FOLLOWING HURRICANE KATRINA
AS PRESIDENT OF MISSISSIPPI
POWER COMPANY, HE GOT THE
LIGHTS BACK ON IN A
JAW-DROPPING 12 DAYS.
WE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE.
Reporter: BUT AN EVEN
BIGGER CHALLENGE CAME A
SHORT TIME LATER WHEN HE WAS
DIAGNOSED WITH A.L.S.
THERE IS NO HOPE.
Reporter: HE COULD
HARDLY SWALLOW.
SOON HE WOULDN'T EVEN BE
ABLE TO BREATHE.
DEPRESSION, NO QUESTION
ABOUT THAT.
BUT THEN I DECIDED I HAD TO
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
AND I WENT ON A RELENTLESS
SEARCH FOR ANYTHING THAT I
COULD FIND THAT MIGHT HELP
ME.
Reporter: HE CAME
ACROSS A LITTLE-KNOWN
TREATMENT CALLED THE DEANNA
PROTOCOL.
JUST BY THE GRACE OF
GOD.
Reporter: HE GAVE IT A
TRY, HOPING TO SLOW DOWN HIS
BODY'S DETERIORATION, AND
WAS AMAZED WHEN IT ACTUALLY
REVERSED HIS SYMPTOMS.
SIX MONTHS AGO, I HAD A
PROBLEM WITH EXCESS SALIVA.
I DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM
TODAY.
MY VOICE IS BETTER THAN IT
WAS.
IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT IT'S
BETTER THAN IT WAS.
I COULDN'T DRINK WATER OR
TAKE A PILL WITHOUT FEELING
LIKE I WAS GOING TO CHOKE TO
DEATH.
TODAY I'M TAKING PROBABLY 30
PILLS A DAY AND I DON'T EVEN
THINK ABOUT IT.
I COULD ONLY EAT SOFT FOOD
SIX MONTHS AGO.
I'M EATING STEAK, RIBS,
ANYTHING I WANT TODAY.
Reporter: THE DEANNA
PROTOCOL IS RELATIVELY
UNHEARD OF BECAUSE ONE
DOCTOR CREATED IT AT HOME
FOR ONE PATIENT, HIS
DAUGHTER, DEANNA.
FIVE YEARS AGO, SHE WAS
ENJOYING LIFE AS A NEW BRIDE
AND A YOUNG ATTORNEY WHEN
HER DOCTORS SAID SHE DIDN'T
HAVE LONG TO LIVE.
AND HE WAS SAYING YOU
HAVE A.L.S., AND AT THAT
MOMENT I FELT LIKE I LEFT MY
BODY.
WE TOOK HER TO ALL OF THE
VARIOUS CITADELS THAT
SPECIALIZE IN A.L.S., AND TO
MY CHAGRIN, THERE I WAS
NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE
FOR HER.
Reporter: NOT WILLING
TO ACCEPT DEFEAT, DR. TADONE
LEFT HIS JOB AS A SURGEON,
AND AFTER YEARS OF TRIAL AND
ERROR DEVELOPED A TREATMENT
THAT STOPPED THE PROGRESSION
OF DEANNA'S A.L.S.
I CALL MYSELF THE
RESIDENT GUINEA PIG.
Reporter: THE MAIN
INGREDIENT IS THE
ENERGY-BOOSTING A.K.G.
SO WE PUT HER ON THE
A.K.G., AND THEN WE RAN OUT
OF IT.
WITHIN ONE DAY, HER TREMORS
BECAME UNBELIEVABLE, OKAY?
WE PUT HER BACK ON IT -- GOT
SOME MORE AND PUT HER BACK
ON IT, AND THE TREMORS
SUBSIDED.
Reporter: THE DEANNA
PROTOCOL REQUIRES WORKING
THE MUSCLES WITH CARDIO AND
WEIGHTLIFTING, AND THEN
MASSAGING THEM WITH COCONUT
OIL.
ALTHOUGH TEST MOANLS
TESTIMONIALS LIKE THESE ARE
ENCOURAGING, THEY'RE NOT
ENOUGH FOR DOCTORS TO
RECOMMEND THE DEANNA
PROTOCOL TO THEIR PATIENTS.
MANY SAY IT IS UNRELIABLE
AND WILL ONLY RECOMMEND A
TREATMENT TO THEIR PATIENTS
THAT HAVE BEEN
SCIENTIFICALLY RESEARCHED.
THAT RESEARCH IS NOW UNDER
WAY ON THE DEANNA PROTOCOL.
SCIENTISTS AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF SOUTH FLORIDA ARE
STUDYING ITS EFFECT ON MICE
WITH A.L.S.
WE'RE USING A MOUS MODEL
OF A.L.S. THAT IS CONSIDERED
AS KIND OF THE GOLD STANDARD
IN THAT THE PATHOLOGY IN THE
A.L.S. MICE IS VERY SIMILAR
TO THE PATHOLOGY IN HUMANS.
Reporter: IF THE DEANNA
PROTOCOL SLOWS A.L.S. IN LAB
MICE, THAT COULD LEAD
DOCTORS TO RECOMMEND IT TO
THEIR HUMAN PATIENTS.
I HAVE A STRONG FAITH,
THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON.
JUST MAYBE I GOT THIS SO MY
DAD WOULD GET INVOLVED IN
AND THIS WILL EVENTUALLY
LEAD TO A TREATMENT THAT
SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES UNTIL A
CURE WAS FOUND.
Pat: LOU GEHRIG IS ONE
OF THE GREAT BASEBALL
PLAYERS OF ALL TIME.
HE STARRED WITH THE NEW YORK
YANKEES, AND PERHAPS HE WAS
BEFORE MOST OF YOUR TIME.
BUT, NEVERTHELESS, HE
DEVELOPED THIS DISEASE WHILE
HE WAS STILL IN THE PRIME OF
HIS LIFE.
LAURIE JOHNSON IS HERE WITH
US.
LAURIE, WHAT DOES A.L.S. DO
TO SOMEBODY?
IT IS SO CRUEL.
I WAS WATCHING YOUR
INTRODUCTION, AND IT SOUNDS
LIKE YOU'VE HAD SOMEONE YOU
LOVE HAVE THE DISEASE, AND
SO MANY OF US HAVE, AND IT
IS SO CRUEL AND RELENTLESS.
AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT
ATTACKS THE NERVE CELLS SO
THAT YOUR NERVE CELLS CANNOT
SIGNAL YOUR MUSCLES.
SO BASICALLY YOUR MUSCLES
DETERIORATE.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE MUSCLES IN
YOUR CHEST TO BREATHE.
SO YOU CAN'T BREATHE NAME.
YOU CAN'T SWALLOW.
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
BUT, LIKE YOU SAID BEFORE,
YOUR MIND IS PERFECTLY
INTACT, AND IT IS VERY
FAST-MOVING, TOO.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIVE
THREE, FOUR YEARS.
Pat: HOW DOES HE STAY
ALIVE SO LONG --
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT HIS DIAGNOSIS, BUT I
CAN TELL YOU MOST PEOPLE
DON'T LIVE BEYOND FIVE
YEARS.
THAT'S USUALLY THE UPPER
LIMIT.
Pat: YOU SAY THE PERSON
CAN'T SWALLOW, THEY CAN'T
BREATHE -- IT'S TERRIBLE.
RIGHT.
IT IS TERRIBLE.
WHAT IS SO WONDERFUL IS
THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRIED
THIS DEANNA PROTOCOL HAVE
HAD WONDERFUL RESULTS.
AND MY MESSAGE TO OUR
VIEWERS IS WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
TO LOSE?
THIS IS VERY CHEAP.
THERE ARE VIRTUALLY NO SIDE
EFFECTS, AND THERE REALLY
ISN'T ANYTHING ELSE OUT
THERE.
Pat: WHAT IS THE MAGIC
POWDER?
A.K.G.
THAT HELPS THE CELLS HAVE
ENERGY.
BUT THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER
SUPPLEMENTS.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO
HAS A.L.S. OR LOVES SOMEONE
WITH A.L.S., TO GO TO OUR
WEBSITE AND YOU CAN BE
DIRECTED TO THE DEANNA
PROTOCOL.
Pat: IT CURES A.L.S. --
OR RETARDS A.L.S.?
IT DOES NOT CURE A.L.S.
IT IS A POSSIBLE TREATMENT.
WE KNOW THERE IS NO CURE FOR
AIDS, BUT IF YOU GET AIDS,
YOU CAN LIVE A LONG LIFE.
SAME THING FOR DIABETES,
THERE IS NO CURE, BUT THERE
IS A TREATMENT.
THAT'S THE HOPE FOR THE
DEANNA PROTOCOL.
THE DEANNA PROTOCOL ALLOWS
PEOPLE TO LIVE LONGER.
Pat: IS THERE AN AGE
LIMIT?
SOMETIMES YOU FIND DISEASES
STRIKE AGES, LIKE BETWEEN 30
AND 50.
STATISTICALLY, MOST
PEOPLE GET IT OVER THE AGE
OF 50.
AS YOU KNOW, DEANNA IS NOT
50.
AND LOU GEHRIG WAS NOT 50.
FOR MOST PEOPLE IT IS
BETWEEN AGE 50 AND 70.
ABOUT 6,000 PEOPLE ARE
DIAGNOSED WITH IT EVERY
YEAR.
ABOUT 30,000 PEOPLE IN
AMERICA HAVE IT RIGHT NOW.
Pat: DEANNA PROTOCOL,
AND YOU'VE GOT THAT AT THE
CBN WEBSITE.
RIGHT.
ABSOLUTELY.
SO FOLKS SHOULD CLICK ON THE
WORD "THE DEANNA PROTOCOL,"
AND IT WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT
TO THE DOCTOR.
AND HE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR
FROM FOLKS.
Pat: LAURIE, YOU'RE
TERRIFIC.
GOD BLESS YOU.
YOU, TOO.
Terry: COMING UP NEXT,
WE'LL HEAR FROM THE NEXT
MEXICAN-AMERICAN HEAD COACH
IN THE NBA.
BUT FIRST, A MAN WHO BROKE A
25-YEAR ADDICTION AFTER
GETTING A 15-YEAR
ADDICTION.
HIS STORY IS NEXT.
Pat: WELCOME BACK,
FOLKS.
TO THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
IT IS COMING DOWN TO
CHRISTMAS, AND GLAD YOU'RE
WITH US.
WITH EVERY DEAL HE MADE,
EDDIE BRADLEY WOULD POCKET A
FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
CASH.
BUT EDDIE WASN'T JUST A
BIG-TIME DRUG TRAFFICKER.
HE WAS A BIG-TIME DRUG
USER.
THE DESPERATION OF
WANTING THE DRUGS TO BE OUT
OF MY LIFE AND TO STRAIGHTEN
MY LIFE UP.
I REMEMBER STICKING A GUN SO
HARD IN MY TEMPLE AND
CRYING.
I WANTED TO END IT.
Reporter: DRUGS
CONTROLLED EDDIE'S LIFE FOR
MORE THAN TWO DECADES.
A HABIT THAT STARTED WHEN HE
WAS ONLY 15.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT A
SKATING RINK.
THAT'S WHERE MY MOM DROPPED
ME OFF AT.
AS SOON AS SHE GOT OUT OF
SIGHT, ME AND ANOTHER FRIEND
GOT IN CAR WITH ANOTHER GUY,
AND THAT'S THE NIGHT I GOT
INTRODUCED TO MARIJUANA.
I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO
DO IT BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE
WAS DOING IT.
I DID IT FOR THREE, FOUR,
FIVE YEARS, AND I GOT
INTRODUCED TO COCAINE.
IT GOT ME THE FIRST TIME I
TRIED IT.
Reporter: HE BEGAN
DEALING TO PAY FOR HIS
GROWING ADDICTION.
SOON EDDIE HAD A NEW
OBSESSION.
I WAS SELLING LITTLE
STUFF, $25 STUFF, $50 STUFF,
$100 STUFF -- THE MORE I
SOLD, THE MORE MONEY I COULD
MAKE.
THE LUST FOR MONEY CONSUMED
ME.
I WENT TO THE NEXT STATE OF
SELLING OUNCES AND THAT LED
TO POUNDS.
Reporter: MONEY AND
DRUGS BECAME THE CENTER OF
HIS LIFE.
HIS GIRLFRIEND, MARSHA, SAW
HOW IT AFFECTED EDDIE.
I HAD STARTED DOING
COCAINE A YEAR BEFORE I MET
EDDIE.
I KIND OF KNEW WHAT WAS
GOING ON, BUT I DIDN'T DARE
SAY.
Reporter: EDDIE AND
MARSHA MARRIED 10 YEARS
LATER.
THEY TRIED TO BREAK THEIR
HABITS, BUT THE ADDICTIONS
ONLY GOT WORSE.
AS THE YEARS WENT ON, OUR
DRUG HABIT BECAME MUCH MORE
INTENSE.
$600 OR $800 A DAY, I
GUESS, ON THE COCAINE.
A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS A
DAY FOR THE
METHAMPHETAMINE.
TO KEEP THE HABIT ON, I HAD
TO SELL.
WHICH KEPT ME ON THE ROAD A
GOOD BIT OF MY DAYS.
I DIDN'T SEE MY WIFE A LOT.
THAT'S WHEN THE OTHER WOMEN
STARTED COMING INTO MY
LIFE.
I KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING,
BUT IF I BROUGHT IT UP, WE
FOUGHT, PHYSICALLY FOUT.
IT ESCALATED FROM THERE.
I WENT TO OTHER MEN TO
MEND MY HEART, THE
BROKENNESS OF MY HEART.
MY LIFE WAS VOID.
THERE WAS NO HOPE IN MY
LIFE.
OUR MARRIAGE WAS FALLING
APART.
Reporter: THIS WAS ONLY
THE BEGINNING.
THE DRUG-RUNNING FINALLY
CAUGHT UP WITH HIM.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS
LIFE, EDDIE WAS ARRESTED.
THAT WAS TRAUMATIZING,
REALLY, TO ME.
I WENT AND DONE EIGHT
MONTHS.
AND I GOT OUT, AND SAID I'M
DONE -- I'M DONE WITH IT --
BUT I WASN'T.
YOU SELL DRUGS AND DO DRUGS
THAT MANY YEARS, IT IS LIKE
GOING TO YOUR JOB.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE
USED TO DOING AND IN A WAY,
IT'S THE ONLY THING YOU
KNEW.
I WAS ARRESTED 12 TIMES, AND
STAYED ON PROBATION FOR 10
YEARS.
Reporter: MARSHA SOUGHT
HELP AT A CHRISTIAN REHAB
CLINIC.
SHE HOPED IT WOULD CLEAN UP
EDDIE AS WELL.
HE WOULD COME AND SEE ME
BEFORE CHURCH.
AND WE WOULD ONLY HAVE 15
MINUTES BEFORE CHURCH TO
SPEND TIME TOGETHER.
SHE WOULD TELL ME ABOUT
THE LORD.
AND I WOULD LISTEN.
IT WOULD TOUCH MY HEART, BUT
THAT METH AND THAT MONEY AND
THE LUST FOR WOMEN STILL HAD
ME.
AND I KNEW IT STILL HAD
MEMEN ME.
AND I STILL LIKED IT.
Reporter: MARSHA
REFUSED TO BE DISCOURAGED.
INSTEAD SHE STILL PRAYED FOR
EDDIE.
I BECAME TO CALL HIM A
MIGHTY MAN OF GOD.
NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOING ON
IN HIS LIFE, I WAS STILL
SAYING HE WAS THE A MIGHTY
MAN OF GOD.
Reporter: EDDIE
CONTINUED TO USE AND DEAL,
AND HE WAS ARRESTED AGAIN
AND WAS SENTENCED TO 15
YEARS.
BEING IN PRISON FOR 18
MONTHS, THE DRUGS WERE OUT
OF MY SYSTEM.
YOU KNOW, I COULD THINK
STRAIGHT.
THINGS WERE COMING
TOGETHER.
I WAS READING MY BIBLE EVERY
DAY.
I WAS GOING TO THE SERVICES
THEY HAD IN PRISON.
AND I PRAY EVERY NIGHT.
THIS ONE NIGHT IT WAS
FLOWING OUT OF ME.
SO MUCH THAT I WAS UP ALL
NIGHT.
I FELT THE PRESENCE OF THE
LORD.
I CRIED AND I KNEW THAT
NIGHT IS WHEN I FEEL --
HONESTLY FEEL THE LORD SAID
YOU'RE IN MY HANDS NOW.
I'M GIVING YOU MY SPIRIT.
YOU ARE A CHANGED MAN.
Reporter: EDDIE WAS
DETERMINED TO START FRESH.
SHORTLY AFTER, HE WAS
RELEASED FROM PRISON.
THEY PUT ME ON HOUSE
ARREST FOR 18 MONTHS.
I KNOW IT HAD TO BE GOD'S
WAY OF SAYING, HEY, THIS IS
YOUR TIME TO GET RIGHT WITH
ME.
I FED MY SPIRIT.
I PRAYED.
I LEARNED TO HEAR GOD'S
VOICE.
Reporter: FOR THE FIRST
TIME SINCE HE WAS 15, EDDIE
WAS FREE OF THE ADDICTIONS.
I HAD NO DESIRE, FROM THE
DAY I LEFT THAT JAIL, TO
SELL DRUGS AGAIN.
AFTER 26 YEARS OF DRUG
ADDICTION, I DIDN'T HAVE IT
ANYMORE.
I DIDN'T HAVE THE DESIRE TO
GO SEE OTHER WOMEN.
THE LORD -- IT'S LIKE HE
REACHED IN AND TOOK OUT THAT
ROCK THAT WAS INSIDE OF ME
AND PUT A NEW HEART IN ME.
IT WAS LIKE GOD PUT A NEW
LOVE FOR EACH OTHER IN OUR
HEARTS.
ALL OF THAT OTHER STUFF IN
THE PAST -- THAT'S WHAT IT
IS, IT'S THE PAST.
THIS IS THE PERSON I WANT
TO BE.
SO IF ANYBODY IS OUT THERE
STRUGGLING, JUST ABOUT TO
GIVE UP, THEN JUST GIVE THE
LORD A CHANCE.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY HOPE,
HE'LL GIVE YOU HOPE.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PEACE
IN YOUR LIFE, HE'LL GIVE YOU
PEACE.
IT WORKED FOR ME.
IT WORKED FOR MY WIFE.
IT CAN WORK FOR YOU.
Pat: YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU
READ THE BIBLE, WHEN GOD
MADE HUMAN BEINGS ON THE
EARTH, HE SAID, I WANT YOU
TO TAKE DOMINION.
AND HE GAVE MANKIND DOMINION
OVER THE ANIMALS, OVER THE
PLANTS, OVER THE SNAKES,
OVER THE BIRDS, EVERYTHING.
ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
THAT MEN AND WOMEN CREATED
IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HAVE
ALLOWED VEGETABLES TO RULE
OVER THEM.
COCAINE IS THE PRODUCT OF A
VEGETABLE, OF A PLANT, THE
COCOA PLANT.
MARIJUANA IS A PLANT.
HEROIN COMES FROM A POPPY, A
PLANT, THE FLOWER OF A
PLANT.
AND YET HUMAN BEINGS, MAILED
IN GOD'S IMAGE, HAVE ALLOWED
THEMSELVES TO BE SLAVES TO
THAT PANT PLANT, OR THOSE
PLANTS.
AND EDDIE WAS NO EXCEPTION.
SO IT BECOMES YOUR LIFE.
AND IT'S A CRUEL TASK MASTER
BECAUSE YOU CRAVE THIS
PLANT, THE APPROVAL OF THE
PLANT.
AND THEN IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN
THAT APPROVAL, YOU'VE GOT TO
GO OUT AND SELL SOME OF IT
OR STEAL TO GET MONEY FOR
IT.
AND THE MORE YOU STEAL, THE
MORE YOU SELL, THE MORE YOU
TAKE, THE MORE YOU WANT.
AND SO YOU'RE LIFE IS
CONSUMED SERVING A PLANT.
LISTEN, YOU WERE MADE IN THE
IMAGE OF GOD.
LISTEN TO ME.
YOU ARE A GREAT MAN OF GOD.
THAT'S WHAT EDDIE'S WIFE WAS
SAYING.
YOU'RE A MIGHTY MAN OF GOD.
YOU ARE MIGHTY IN THE LORD.
AND GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR
LIFE.
AND IT DOESN'T INCLUDE
SERVING PLANTS AND
VEGETABLES.
GOD'S PLAN IS FOR YOU TO
REIGN AND RULE WITH HIM
FOREVER.
IF YOU WANT THAT, YOU'VE GOT
TO BE FREE FROM THIS OTHER.
YOU'VE GOT TO RENOUNCE YOUR
SLAVERY TO PLANTS.
YOU'VE GOT TO RENOUNCE YOUR
SLAVERY TO -- TOBACCO IS A
PLANT.
WHISKEY COMES FROM THE
DISTILLATION OF BARLEY AND
CORN AND OTHER TYPES OF
VEGETABLES.
AND YOU WILL SAY, I WAS MADE
IN GOD'S IMAGE AND I'M NOT
GOING TO SERVE PLANTS ANY
MORE.
I'M GOING TO SERVE GOD
ALMIGHTY.
PRAY WITH ME NOW FOR JESUS
TO SET YOU FREE.
PRAY THESE WORDS, LORD,
JESUS CHRIST -- SAY IT WITH
ME.
LORD, JESUS CHRIST, I
DECLARE THAT I AM FREE FROM
THE TYRANNY OF PLANTS AND
VEGETABLES.
I DECLARE THAT I AM YOUR
CHILD.
I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU.
AND I RECEIVE YOU, LORD
JESUS, AS MY SAVIOR AND MY
LORD.
COME INTO MY HEART.
LIVE IN ME.
AND FROM THIS MOMENT ON I
DECLARE THAT I AM FREE
BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE ME
FREE.
THANK YOU, LORD.
AMEN.
AND AMEN.
WHAT A MIGHTY, MIGHTY,
MIGHTY -- THINK OF YOURSELF,
A MIGHTY MAN AND A MIGHTY
WOMAN OF GOD.
I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO
GIVE YOU.
IT'S CALLED "A NEW DAY."
AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT
YOU'VE JUST DONE.
WHAT THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE
FOR YOU.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BORN
AGAIN, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO
HAVE A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST.
I WANT YOU TO CALL AND SAY I
JUST PRAYED WITH PAT AND I
GAVE MY LIFE TO THE LORD.

SOMEBODY IS HERE TO LOVES
YOU.
TERRY?
Terry: COMING UP LATER,
HOW AN UNPAID INTERN WOUND
UP BECOMING AN NBA HEAD
COACH.
Reporter: WELCOME BACK
TO WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN
NEWS BREAK.
A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE STATUE
OF JESUS NEAR A MONTANA SKI
RESORT IS MOVING FORWARD.
THAT AFTER A MAN COMPLAINED
IT IS RELIGIOUS AND
OFFENSIVE.
THE STATUE SITS ON FEDERAL
LAND.
THE FREEDOM FROM RELIGION
FOUNDATION ORIGINALLY FILED
SUIT SEEKING ITS REMOVAL.
BUT OPPONENTS CHALLENGED
THAT LAWSUIT, SAYING IT
DIDN'T POINT TO ANYONE
ACTUALLY BEING HARMED BY
IT.
THE FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS THE
LAWSUIT CAN PROCEED.
THE DUTCH PARLIAMENT HAS
SCRAPPED A LAW PROTECTING
THE LORD'S MAI NAME FROM
BLASPHEMY.
ALL IN THE NAME OF FREE
SPEECH.
LAST YEAR CONSERVATIVE DUTCH
POLITICIAN WAS PROTECTED
UNDER SIMILAR REASONING WHEN
HE CRITICIZED ISLAM.
DUTCH LAW STILL CONSIDERS IT
IS A CRIME TO INSULT POLICE
OFFICERS AND THE QUEEN.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY
GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT
CBN.COM.
PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Terry: OVER THE PAST
TWO YEARS, A DEADLY OUTBREAK
OF CHOLERA HAS KILLED
LITERALLY THOUSANDS IN
HAITI, AND THE DISEASE IS
STILL BEING SPREAD THROUGH
CONTAMINATED WATER.
HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT
"OPERATION BLESSING" IS
DOING TO HELP.
Reporter: 6-YEAR-OLD
MASHIN CAME DOWN WITH
CHOLERA AFTER DRINKING A
GLASS OF WATER.
THAT WATER HAD COME FROM A
NEARBY RIVER, THE ONLY
SOURCE AVAILABLE TO HER
COMMUNITY.
THIS IS MASHIN'S MOTHER,
CRISTOLA.
I ALWAYS DRANK FROM THE
WATER.
I GAVE MY CHILDREN WATER
FROM THE RIVER, TOO.
NOW I SEE DEATH IN THE
WATER.
Reporter: EACH MORNING,
CRISTOLA COMES DOWN TO THE
RIVER TO SELECT WATER IN
THIS BUCKET FOR HER
CHILDREN.
SADLY, THIS WATER IS WHAT
CLAIMED THE LIFE OF HER
YOUNGEST SON A FEW MONTHS
AGO.
FAR OUT INTO THE COUNTRY
SIDE, BUT RIGHT NEXT TO HER
VILLAGE, THIS RIVER IS, IN
FACT, THE SOURCE OF ALL OF
THE CHOLERA IN HAITI.
WITHOUT REALIZING IT,
CRISTOLA HAD GIVEN HER
DAUGHTER THE SAME WATER THAT
HAD KILLED HER INFANT SON.
WITHIN DAYS, MASHIN HAD
CHOLERA, TOO, AND WAS
FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE.
SHE WAS THROWING UP AND
HAD DISENTERI.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
Reporter: THE DAY
"OPERATION BLESSING" ARRIVED
IN MASHIN'S VILLAGE, WE
COULD SEE HOW SICK THE
LITTLE GIRL HAD BECOME.
AN "OPERATION BLESSING"
MEDICAL STAFF MEMBER
IMMEDIATELY STARTED AN I.V.
INTO THE DEHYDRATED CHILD.
WE TOOK HER TO THIS
HOSPITAL.
SHE SPENT THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS THER DAYS THERE ON AN
I.V. DRIP THAT SAVED HER
LIFE.
BECAUSE OF THE FLOODING,
I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE
HOUSE TO TAKE HER TO THE
HOSPITAL.
IF "OPERATION BLESSING" HAD
NOT COME, I THINK MY MASHIN
WOULD HAVE DIED.
Reporter: AND
"OPERATION BLESSING"
PROVIDED WATER PURIFICATION
FILTERS, INCLUDING ONE FOR
CRISTOLA AND MASHIN.
AFTER WE GOT THE SYSTEM,
I WAS NOT AFRAID OF THE
WATER ANYMORE.
GOD SENT YOU TO SAVE MASHIN,
BUT THERE ARE SO MANY
OTHERS, AND I HOPE YOU WILL
HELP THEM, TOO.
Terry: GOD SENT YOU TO
HELP ME.
THAT'S WHAT "THE 700 CLUB"

Pat: ORANGE DATE NUT
CAKE OR BREAD.
Terry: AND KRISTI HAS
HER MACARONI AND CHEESE --
Pat: I TOLD ME
YESTERDAY TO TEAM THAT UP
WITH DEE DEE'S SACRED DATE
NUT CAKE --
Terry: MAY I SAY I KNOW
A NUMBER OF FOLKS FOR WHOM
MACARONI AND CHEESE IS
SACRED -- I'M GOING OVER TO
KRISTI'S HOUSE AND THEN I'M
COMING TO YOURS.
Pat: WHIP UP SOME OF
THAT STUFF.
IT IS SO DELICIOUS.
I KEPT SAYING IT WAS FROM
ONE OF HER GRANDMOTHER'S
RECIPES, BUT IT TURNED OUT
MAYBE NOT.
Terry: BUT IT WAS A
GREAT STORY.
Pat: IT WAS A GREAT
STORY.
Terry: CAN I JUST SAY,

CLUB" MEMBER AND YOU WOULD
STILL LIKE TO HAVE THE
DEVOTIONAL AND THE RECIPES,
CALL 1-800-759-0700 AND JUST
REQUEST IT.
WE HAVE A FASCINATING STORY
COMING UP.
CALEB CANALUS HAD A DREAM TO
BECOME AN NBA HEAD COACH BY
A CERTAIN AGE, AND HE GOT
THE JOB TWO YEARS AHEAD OF
TIME.
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
ANSWERING YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS.
ONE ASKS PAT, IS IT A SIN TO
PLAY THE LOTTERY?
WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER THAT
QUESTION AND MORE.
WE'LL BE BACK.
Terry: IN PRO SPORTS,
BEING THE HEAD COACH CAN BE
A DIFFICULT JOB, EVEN FOR
THOSE WITH DECADES OF
EXPERIENCE ON THE BENCH.
SO WHEN THE NBA'S PORTLAND
TRAILBLAZERS NEEDED A NEW
COACH LAST YEAR, THEY TURNED
TO AN UNLIKELY CANDIDATE.
33-YEAR-OLD CALEB CANALIS.
Reporter: IN BASKETBALL
TERMS, THE PORTLAND
TRAILBLAZER'S CALEB SCORED
ON A FAST BREAK.
HIS RAPID RISE WITHIN THE
ORGANIZATION TOOK HIM FROM
AN UNPAID INTERN TO INTERIM
HEAD COACH IN JUST SEVEN
YEARS.
BECOMING THE FIRST
MEXICAN-AMERICAN HEAD COACH
IN NBA HISTORY AND THE
LEAGUE'S YOUNGEST AT 33.
WHEN I WAS 18, 19 YEARS
OLD, I GRABBED AN OLD CARD
AND I PLEDGED FIVE
PROFESSIONAL GOALS AND FIVE
PERSONAL GOALS I WANTED TO
REACH.
ONE OF THE GOALS
PROFESSIONALLY WAS TO BECOME
A HEAD COACH IN THE NBA BY
THE AGE OF 35.
AND GOD IS SO AWESOME.
Reporter: BUT THE
APPOINTMENT WAS
BITTERSWEET.
LAST MARCH CALEB INHERITED A
STRUGGLING TEAM THAT FIRED
HIS COACHING MENTOR AND
FRIEND, NATE McMILLAN.
HIS TEMPORARY PROMOTION WAS
SUDDEN AND HIS LEARNING
CURVE QUICK.
IT MARKED CALEB'S FIRST GAME
AS A HEAD COACH EVER.
HE SPENT THREE SEASONS AS AN
ASSISTANT.
TWO AT HIGH SCHOOLS IN HIS
HOME TOWN OF LORADO, TEXAS,
AND ONE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
TEXAS ARTICLE TON.
WHEN YOU'RE YOUNGER,
YOU'RE LIKE, LET ME BE A
HIGH SCHOOL COACH AND THEN A
COLLEGE COACH AND THEN AN
NBA COACH.ú?
Reporter: SO HOW DOES A
COACH GET HIS JOB WITHOUT
ANY EXPERIENCE.
HE WALKED THROUGH THE FRONT
DOOR WHILE WORKING ON HIS
MASTERS AND STARTING AS A
VIDEO INTERN.
HE SPENT THREE YEARS IN THIS
OFFICE, FULFILLING A FINAL
UNIVERSITY CREDIT.
HE WAS THE BLAZER'S VIDEO
COORDINATOR.
CALEB LEARNED THE NBA GAME
BY WATCHING A MONITOR.
PART OF MY RESPONSIBILITY
WAS BEING IN A VIDEO ROOM
AND BREAKING DOWN FIVE TO
SIX NBA GAMES A NIGHT.
STUDYING PLAYERS, STUDYING
COACHES, STUDYING SYSTEMS.
I CALL IT MY NBA 101
FOUNDATION.
IT ALLOWED ME TO GROW INTO
THE OPPORTUNITIES I'VE
GOTTEN.
Reporter: CALEB ALSO
DEVELOPED THE COVETED
QUALITY INSIDE ANY SPORTS
FRANCHISE, THE ABILITY TO
LEAD AND MOTIVATE PLAYERS.
THEY'RE EXTREMELY
TALENTED.
THE PLAYERS ARE GETTING
YOUNGER, FASTER, AND
TRORNG.
STRONGER.
FINDING COMMON GROUND AND
UNDERSTANDING WHAT MAKES
THEM TICK.
Reporter: HE BEGAN
OVERSEEING THE BLAZER'S
SUMMER LEAGUE TEAM,
DEVELOPING YOUNG TALENT
WHILE FINE-TUNING HIS
COACHING.
HIS RAPPORT WITH THE PLAYERS
GREW.
THEN THE OPPORTUNITY
OPENED.
DESPITE HAVING A STAFF OF
VETERAN ASSISTANTS TO CHOOSE
FROM, MANAGEMENT APPOINTED
CALEB.
OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO HELP
OUR PLAYERS GET BETTER.
AND HOW DO WE GET THAT.
ONE IS SERVING THE
LEADERSHIP ATTITUDE THAT WE
LEARN, AND THAT PRINCIPLE,
AND THAT'S SOMETHING I TRY
TO STAY TRUE TO.
IT'S ALL ABOUT
RELATIONSHIPS.
TO ME, TIME EQUALS TRUST.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE AUTHENTIC.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE WHO YOU
ARE.
YOU CAN'T TRY TO BE SOMEONE
YOU'RE NOT.
Reporter: HIS
LEADERSHIP AND WORTH ETHNIC
WITHIN THE BLAZER'S
ORGANIZATION IS CONTAGIOUS.
GROWING UP IN OUR
HOUSEHOLD, FAITH WAS NUMBER
ONE IN OUR LIFE.
WHEN I SAID I NEED TO GET
GOD IN MY LIFE FOR REAL IS
WHEN I WENT TO COLLEGE, AND
I ACCEPTED GOD AS MY
SAVIOR.
AND, OBVIOUSLY, IT HAS BEEN
THE GREATEST DECISION IN MY
LIFE.
IT HAS BEEN SUCH AN
UNBELIEVABLE 12, 13 YEARS.
Reporter: LAST AUGUST
THE INTERIM TITLE WAS
REMOVED, AND CALEB'S TITLE
WAS FORMED.
HE WILL EASE THE COACHING
TRANSITION DURING THIS
SEASON.
I KNOW I CAN CONTROL MY
ATTITUDE EVERY DAY.
WIN OR LOSE.
AND BE READY TO IMPROVE AND
GET BETTER AS WE GO ON.
I JUST WANT TO BE AN EXAMPLE
TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY
WITH WHAT GOD HAS BLESSED ME
WITH.
Terry: A NATURAL
LEADER, BUT WHAT AN AMAZING
ACCOMPLISHMENT, 33 YEARS OF
AGE.
HE IS SO LITTLE, OR THAT
OTHER GUY IS SO BIG.
Pat: THAT MUST BE
TOUGH.
Terry: THE PRESSURE OF
THE PEOPLE OUT THERE IS
INCREDIBLE.
Pat: WE'VE GOT SOME
QUESTIONS.
Terry: WE DO.
WE'VE GOT SOME E-MAIL
QUESTIONS.
THIS IS FROM ROBERT AND
TAKES US BACK TO THE
LOTTERY.
HE SAYS, "IS IT A SIN TO
PURCHASE LOTTERY TICKETS.
MANY CHRISTIANS INVEST IN
THE STOCK MARKET, BUT WILL
LOOK UNFAVORABLY AT ANYONE
WHO BUYS LOTTERY TICKETS.
I WONDER IF YOU KNOW OF ANY
SCRIPTURE THAT DRESSES
THIS?"
Pat: THE ANSWER IS YES
AND NO.
BUYING STOCKS IS SOMETHING
THAT SHOULD BE DONE AFTER
ANALYZING THE COMPANIES, AND
YOU NEED TO KNOW THE DEBT
RATIO AND THE P.E. O., AND
YOU NEED TO KNOW THE HISTORY
OF THE STOCK AND WHO IS
SELLING AND WHO IS BUYING,
AND ALL OF THAT KIND OF
STUFF.
THAT IS NOT GAMBLING.
AS FAR AS GAMBLING, LEAR IS
THE DEAL: "THOU SHALT NOT
TEMPT THE LORD THY GOD."
AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING --
AND I HAVE BEEN IN POKER
GAMES BEFORE I KNEW THE
LORD, PRAYING I PULLED AN
INSIDE STRAIGHT.
REALLY.
Terry: I HAVE A FUNNY
PICTURE OF THAT.
Pat: OH, GOD, GIVE ME A
10.
I MEAN, THAT'S TEMPTING
GOD.
SO YOU PUSH ALL OF THAT
MONEY OUT ON THE TABLE.
YOU'RE THROWING YOUR MONEY
AT A ROULETTE WHEEL, AND
YOU'RE THROWING YOUR MONEY
AT A DICE TABLE, AND YOU'RE
SAYING, GOD, I'M PUTTING MY
MONEY OUT AND I'M TEMPTING
YOU TO GIVE ME A RETURN.
THAT'S WHAT THE LOTTERY
AMOUNTS TO.
IF YOU THINK OF IT, OKAY, I
HAVE 10 BUCKS AND I DON'T
CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO IT, IF
I WIN, GOOD.
IF I DON'T, WHO CARES.
THAT'S JUST STUPID, BUT
STUPID IS DIFFERENT.
Terry: STUPID IS NOT A
SIN.
Pat: GOD CAN FORGIVE
SIN, BUT STUPID IS FOREVER.
Terry: THIS IS ASHLEY
WHO SAYS, "DEAR PAT, I
RECENTLY HAVE HAD A
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING TO JESUS
CHRIST.
I'VE COME BACK TO HIM
AGAIN.
IN THE PAST, I'VE USED TAROT
CARDS.
THEY TOLD ME I WAS PREGNANT
BEFORE I TOOK A PREGNANCY
TEST.
I'VE BEEN TOLD MY WHOLE LIFE
THEIR EVIL, BUT I DON'T USE
THEM FOR EVIL.
ARE THEY STILL WRONG IN THE
EYES OF THE LORD?"
Pat: YOU BET.
AS YOU READ ABOUT IT IN THE
BIBLE, IT IS CLEAR THE
ASTROLOGERS, THE
SOOTHSAYERS, AND THE PEOPLE
WHO DEAL IN MAGIC ARTS --
AND WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT ARE MAGIC ARTS.
AND YOU ASKING A SPIRIT TO
TELL YOU THINGS.
AND THE SPIRIT IS NOT GOD.
THE SPIRIT IS A DEVIL --
Terry: AND THERE IS A
TRUST FACTOR IN THAT, TOO.
GOD WANTS OUR TRUST AND
SURRENDER TO HIM, NOT
SHARED.
Pat: YOU REMEMBER
JEAN?
Terry: YES, I DO.
Pat: SHE USED TO HAVE A
HOROSCOPE IN THE PAPER.
AND THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE
HOROSCOPES IN THESE
MAGAZINES.
I WOULD LOOK AT ONE OF THOSE
THINGS.
AND IT HAD AN EXTRAORDINARY
POWER.
THEY HAVE POWER.
DON'T THINK THEY DON'T HAVE
POWER.
THERE IS A SEDUCTIVE POWER
IN THOSE THINGS.
ARE THEY WRONG?
YES, THEY ARE WRONG.
DON'T DO IT.
GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE
ANSWERS, AND HE'LL TELL YOU
ABOUT -- YOU ASK ABOUT THE
SEX OF YOUR CHILD.
AND GOD TOLD ME -- I WAS
PRAYING ONE DAY, AND I SAID,
LORD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS,
THAT SHE MIGHT GROW UP IN A
CHRISTIAN WOMEN HOOD, AND MY
WIFE WAS, LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU
SAYING, AND IT WAS A GIRL.
Terry: MATTHEW
SAYS, "I'M 14 AND IN HIGH
SCHOOL.
I WAS SUSPENDED FOR PLAYING
A JOKE ON PEOPLE.
NOW THAT I'M BACK, PEOPLE
LOOK AT ME WEIRD BECAUSE
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A KNOWN
CHRISTIAN.
I FEEL WEIRD BECAUSE I FEEL
THEY SEE ME AS A HYPOCRITE.
HOW DO I GET TO HOW I WAS
BEFORE?"
Pat: LIKE IT OR NOT, IF
YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN YOU'VE
GOT A TARGET.
THE DEVIL WANTS EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE TO MAKE FUN OF YOU
AND TO DISCREDIT YOU.
HOW DO YOU GET BACK?
LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH THE
BLESSING OF GOD.
CONTINUE TO SERVE HIM, ASK
FOR HIS FORGIVENESS, AND
DON'T SCREW AROUND AND PLAY
GAMES.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE
DOING --
Terry: YOU HAVE TO EARN
THAT GOOD REPUTATION BACK.
Pat: SURE.
IT WAS A JOKE.
AND YOU WERE PLAYING A
PRACTICAL JOKE AND YOU THINK
IT IS FUNNY.
AS A CHRISTIAN, YOU AREN'T
PERMITTED TO DO SOME OF THAT
STUFF BECAUSE YOU'RE DEALING
WITH GOD ALMIGHTY, AND YOU
ARE HIS REPRESENTATIVE ON
EARTH.
Terry: YEAH.
THIS IS NANETTE WHO
SAYS, "CAN BELIEVERS BE
DEMON POSSESSED, AND WHAT
SCRIPTURES BACK UP YOUR
UNDERSTANDING?"
Pat: I HAVE HAD PEOPLE
SAY THAT NO CHRISTIAN CAN BE
POSSESSED.
YOU HAVE, WITHIN YOU -- IF
YOU ARE POSSESSED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT, HE HAS YOUR
SPIRIT.
BUT AS I SAID, ASSUMING THAT
YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN AND
YOU'RE OUT AT A PICNIC, AND
YOU'RE LYING IN THE GRASS
AND THERE ARE ANTS RUNNING
AROUND, THERE IS NOTHING TO
KEEP AN ANT FROM CRAWLING IN
YOUR EAR.
IT IS THE SAME THING.
THERE CAN BE SEDUCING
SPIRITS.
THE BIBLE SAYS THE DEVIL
WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING
LION, SEEKING WHOM HE CAN
DEVOUR.
THERE IS ALWAYS A CONFLICT
GOING ON.
YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF IT.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE
WORDS FROM LUKE: "THE THINGS
THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE WITH MAN
ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD."
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
