The folks I was visiting were in the choir so we got there about 8 am then they had two complete orders of service in the morning. The pastor both taught about a one hour lesson after singing, testimonies, etc then they changed the order of the service with more singing, testifying, etc and then he preached for an hour. I think we left sometime between one and two pm. Five hour church was not something I like or was used to. I kept dozing off in the middle of the second one hour lesson / sermon from NPU.

And what girl were you there for?

CC1,

NPU is so long winded...I did forget that I did walk out of that church after listening to him prech for two hours and he was still going strong. I don't know of many preachers I would miss my lunch for...he isn't one of them.

Blessings, Rhoni

LOL. I was visiting Steve and Sharla. Actually it may have just been Steve before they got married. I am so old now I forget.

I'll try to get there to visit before September.

P.S. Bro. Luther cast many demons out of my grandfather back in the late 60's...they all came back and brought 7 more apiece with them...sad, but true

The first time I went to Memphis was to visit Sharon (Goff) Graham's family in 1975. We ate at the Mark Twain, but I didn't know what an institution in the city it was until years later when we moved to Memphis. It closed shortly after we moved there.
