The "Many Women Of Chicken George" Story

It was an ordinary day. Sitting on Accra Beach in Barbados. Though we'd try a different beach today, since we got our rental car delivered this morning. Lather up, put my towel over the back of my rental chair and relax in the sun. An hour later .... OK, enough of this. Hop off the chair, put my yellow cap emblazoned with "Aruba" on my head and start down the beach. Life guards are training down the beach so I secretly snap a few of them performing CPR on each other. Then I head back to where the food and beach bars are located. There in the parking lot is this really neat colorful little truck with the largest rear cab on it. Cab is painted with beach scenes on both sides, rear and area above the windshield. Two inch letters on the sides welcome tourists to Barbados for the great sunshine, sea and local food. On the top of the windshield reads: "Help me Lord to do thy will each day I pray." According to the name on the truck, it belongs to "Chicken George". Ah, as I turn around I see his stand. Head up the ramp to his beach bar. Standing at the top of ramp is an old man with an Old Navy hat on his head. "Could you be George?" I ask. "And who wants to know?" he responds. Stick my hand out and say, "LDub." Tells me about his truck, family business and how the Lord has been good to him. Has blessed him with 18 children. And then he adds: to 17 different women! And, he never married any of them!! Said that he liked the one good enough to have two kids with her. Wow, guess the letters on his windshield weren't meant for him! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy. PS - Photos are George's truck and him pouring me a drink as we talk.
