This is so true. You pointed out south and north, but east of DeQuincy there are a couple more Pentecostal churches between DQ and Kinder which is only 20 miles away.
about 15 years ago TFT told me there were 35 Apostolic churches of some veriety in Beauregard Parish. there are 35K people there.... I know of at least 4 that have started since that conversation!
a fellow in that area had best be careful. that is for sure.
Hey, we were listing churches around DeQuincy in CALCASIEU Parish.
Now ... we can go about 15 miles up the road and start at Singer and Merryville and then list the BEAUREGARD Parish churches up through DeRidder.
In Lake Charles at Steamboat bills you can get a Pistolette stuffed with Crawfish Etoffee!
now that is some good eating!
Whoops. Pistolette is what I'm thinking of!!!!!!! Sorry, Boomm. I guess I have no idea what a Beignet is, proving Timlan's point. haha!

What amazes me the most is that he knows so much and has retained it and can recall it at a drop of the hat. I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday!

I wouldn't call it "history" ... we're talking about my old stomping grounds where I lived and men whom I knew.
Sheesh.
I guess it IS history and I'm just old as dirt.
LOL!!!!! Sorry, Timlan. I didn't mean to imply that you're really old. These are still current pastors, so I guess its not really "history."

hmmmm crawfish gumbo.....fresh, out-of-the-lake, fried-on-the dock white perch and bluegill....
I made a chicken and sausage gumbo for our church here in Dallas last week. several were turning up their noses because of what their "idea" of gumbo was from the nasty resturants around here.
they changed their minds...
