OK! OK! I'm back!!---yes---some strange things can happen to preachers, you are so right, Ninety Nine! I do believe that if I pastored the largest church in any of the 'Shop's citizens hometown's---I'd find things to happen!
One little fella about 7 years old--now, get the picture--his momma corners me between Sunday School and church and says, "Wes is about ready to make a Profession of Faith! I've been talkin' with 'im and I believe just any day he'll be ready to go down to 'the front'!"
Well, a couple of weeks went by and finally one morning during invitation time--here comes Wes walkin' down to the front where I was. Everybody in church starts smilin' and grinin'--they just know Wes is gonna make a POF!!
He grabs me by the hand and I lean over a bit(I ain't all that tall)and Wes whispers in my ear--"Preacher! I gotta Pee!!"
Well, after I regained my composure--I pointed him toward the back door to the hallway! He zooms out the door without lookin' back!! I look over there at his momma---and she's rollin' her eyes and shakin' her head!! OK---We do take membership by letter---not very many takers here on the board---we do have non-resident membership, though I've always wondered why!!
Changin' the subject a little--the cassette tapes I promised a few of ya'll will be on their way--you should be gettin' um by Saturday!!
And Sister--I did have a Happy Father's Day--got cards from my kids and they're gonna take me out to eat one day and go to Wally World and buy me a new wallet!! Thank you for your complement--the Lord Jesus Christ has given me grace--extra!! Thanks!!
I'll be back later!!
