Was That Tim I Saw?
Over the summer, I received a flurry of emails at work from viewers who wondered if “that was Tim Waller they saw” on Dr. Charles Stanley’s Sunday morning TV broadcast. “If that wasn’t Tim, it sure looked like him,” said one. “I’m pretty sure I saw Tim and his wife on In Touch,” said another.
Yes, folks. That was us you saw.
My wife and I were in Atlanta the weekend of June 20-21. I was up for an Emmy award for a story I did last year on failures within the 9.1.1. system. (Yes, I won!) But equal to the excitement of winning my first Emmy was getting up the next morning and driving to First Baptist Church of Atlanta and getting to see Dr. Stanley in person.
What we didn’t count on in a church that large was showing up in one of the cutaway shots! In fact, we had no idea we were on until a week or two after the broadcast when emails from News 4 viewers starting pouring in. My first thought was (and this is funny coming from a TV guy), did I look okay? Was I scratching my nose when they took the shot?
The sermon in which my wife and I appear is Countdown to Judgment, Part 4, Our Eternal Rewards. You can watch the entire sermon here. We pop up for a brief moment about three-fourths of the way into the sermon. Plus, watching will explain why my wife and I appear to be laughing. Dr. Stanley had just said something funny, though I can’t remember what.
And for the record, you may see us again on In Touch. We’re heading to Atlanta to see friends this weekend, and guess what we’re doing Sunday morning?
