University from where I earned my Master's and Doctorate

I consider them great achievements.

THE

Did you play sports growing up, and were you a leader
as a child?
Dr. Blow: I play minor
sports. I ice skated, roller skated and
bowled. Reflecting back, I do believe that I was a leader
as a child.
THE

Do you consider yourself a leader?
Dr. Blow: YES!
THE
ROCK:
Tell us about your career field and what is so interesting
about it to you?
Dr. Blow: Ministry is an
awesome field because you deal with people. Life affects
people differently everyday, so ministry is different
everyday. Consequently, each day brings new challenges
and opportunities to bring light to the people of the
planet.
THE
ROCK:
If you had to do something else for a living, what would
it be?
Dr. Blow: Some people tell
me that if I was not a minister, I could probably survive
as a comedian. When I was called into ministry I was
studying to work in radio.
THE
ROCK:
If you wrote a book, what would it be about? Why?
Dr.
Blow: My
first book will be released in 2007 and it is a book
about LOVE.
THE
ROCK:
If you could be anybody else in the world, who would
it be? Why?
Dr. Blow: Nobody, I appreciate
who God has created me to be.
THE
ROCK:
If you were the President of the United States, how
would you handle some of the world crisis that we are
presently involved in?
Dr. Blow: I would fall
on my knees and seek the wisdom and guidance of Jesus
Christ.
THE
ROCK:
What advice would you give students entering college?
Dr. Blow: Avoid the easy
professors and seek out the "hard" ones. You
are paying good money for school. Get your money's worth.
It is the professors that I considered tough that I
most appreciate now. Don't skate through school, because
you cannot skate through life.
THE
ROCK:
If you were a keynote speaker for a high school graduating
class, what would be your subject matter?
Dr. Blow: I would tell
the graduating class, do not fall for the okey doke.
The okey doke is the way of easy money and fast women/or
men. It is the way that leaves you broke, busted and
disgusted and it is not that path that God would have
you to go in.
Dr.
Blow:
Jerry Sampson asked me to participate in this interview
and I really had a lot of fun. Thank you Jerry for this
opportunity.
