Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

My husband, Eddie Cupples - the best teacher and most praying man I know
My dad, Don Graham - my best cheerleader
My son, Zac Cupples - it's very exciting to see him becoming a man
My grandpa, Bro. Paul Kloepper - my first pastor
A pastor friend, Bill Luther
Pastoral peers and good friends - Phil Goldsberry, Jeff Butler, Jerry McQuay & Lloyd Bustard
Bro. E. Ray Aldrich, Bro. Joseph Hedges, Bro. Robert Russell & Bro. Ernest Easton - pastors through my formative years
Problem is, I've not had any men in my life to speak of. My first pastor was a big part of my life, but it was all negative influence. My dad was never a part of my life. Other pastors have been a part of my life, but really not in a big way. My ex husbands...well, let's just leave that alone. Didn't have male teachers in school. As a child and teen, I stayed away from men in general, especially older men.
My maternal grandfather was probably the biggest and only male influence on my life. Although we didn't see one another very often due to distance, I have many fond memories.
I'm jealous of 'daddies girls' and people who have fond memories of male influences. My mom was a daddy's girl, and LR is one also. I wish I could feel what they feel.

Harry Haygood who is now deceased.
Not a lot of men have truly influenced me.
I think part of the reason is we moved so much as a child that I never had the opportunity to develop long and lasting relationships.

I have more male friends through the years that I have relied on for many things but those stated are the most influential I supposed.
Recently I have made friends with: Daniel Alicea & Bro. Price and I hope that through the years we can be more infuential in each others life through our connection at Emmaus.
Rev. HH Phillips-High Island Texas-my first pastor that I actually remember and I still keep in contact with his family.
Rev. Lonnie Jordan-High Island Texas-he still is my friend today
Rev. Ronald W. Smith-High Island Texas-Love him because he was and still is a Great man of God
Rev. Daniel Puckett-Winnie Texas-Wow! what can I say except he was a strong man (and very strict!)
Rev. Dale Gibson-Anahuac Tx,Mont Belvieu Tx, Oretta La-My Dad and my pastor for many years. Also very strict on us kids growing up, but has mellowed and now he says that he wishes he could redo alot of things over for saints and family alike. He and my mom also had a servants heart that you don't find many places today.
Rev. Jerrold Wallace-Moss Hill Texas-He and his wife taught me what commitment meant.
Rev. James Coots-Batson Tx-As my husbands uncle, Rev. Harold Davis, says: Once a Coots, Always a Coots!
Rev. Harold Davis-Hardin Tx-Uncle by marriage and truely a Man of the Word. He has been there for Raymond and I through thick and thin
Rev. William Davis (ie: Wild Bill of Waco) Uncle by marriage who truely has been a blessing to my husband and son
Rev. Jim Baker-cousin by marriage-love him and his humor-have never heard him preach, but his life has been an example for me
Rev. Jerry Ward-Houston Tx-Sweet man and good pastor
Rev. Scott T. Lewis-West Houston-No one (and I mean NO ONE!) can teach like this Man of God. His teaching on receiving the Holy Ghost and backing it with scripture is untouchable by anyone that I have heard teach and preach.
Rev. Rob McKee-Katy Tx-He truely has a servants heart. He teaches and preaches and lives humble. I have to say that I am calmer and more submissive to his teaching than any other pastor that I have sit under.
