without comments

JOHN: No, no, no. I am far from that. She’s being very sweet.

LISA: [LAUGHS] He’s being very sweet.

SID: But wait a second John. Since I know both of your pasts

LISA: [LAUGHS] Yeah, mine is way more colorful.

SID: both of you were as messed up as I was and most of the people we’re talking to. I mean give me a break. But actually I was, I was as messed up as Lisa because I came from a Jewish background. Lisa, you came from a heathen background.

LISA: Yes.

 SID: But mine could have been called that anyway. And I had, I didn’t have the Bible or anything. Just so those that, that for those that are watching right now for them to understand, give me a quick snapshot of your background Lisa.

LISA: Well my grandmother was married four times. My parents were married, divorced, remarried, divorced again. My father was an alcoholic. We had a lot of money, a lot of adultery, a lot of divorce and it was just crazy. And so at 21 years of age I had compromised every fiber of any kind of morality, any kind of virtue in my life and I just remembered thinking there has got to be something more. I am empty. I feel I’m surrounded at parties but I feel so empty and I feel so alone. And I was really was crying out for God because you know we had this country club life. My parents had everything. But none of it, it was just empty. And so that was where I was at when I met John. And you know I wanted to hear about Jesus. I had never heard about Jesus. And so basically when he started to tell me about the Gospel I was like I want to do this right now! But then I spent all of that night looking for the Book of Paul. Because he had said Paul said this

SID: The Book of Paul? (LAUGHING)

LISA: and Paul said. Yeah. I had no Christian frame of reference. This is how bad I was. My mother had become a Christian when I was a teenager but she didn’t even try to witness to me because I was just so bad that she came into the room one day and she said to my dad and I, she said I’m putting a book on this bookshelf. And she said it explains the Rapture. Joey and I will be going. You two will not be going. When we disappear you need to read this book. And I was like

SID: [LAUGHS]

 LISA: what in the world is she talking about? And so I pulled the book down when she wasn’t in the room and it’s all the Book of Revelation. And I was like God’s going to blow up the world! But I had absolutely no Christian frame of reference. And so you know started drinking when I was 14. Trying out for the sexual gymnastics team at the University of Arizona thinking all that wildness was right and good and healthy as long as you were responsible.

SID: John, we got a good picture of Lisa.

LISA: [LAUGHS]

SID: John, give me a snapshot of what baggage you were bringing into the marriage.
