Indeed...

It seems like there should be a saying that says... "Leave behind shoes that are hard to be filled."

If that were a saying... he lived it.

For those interested, there has been a memorial website established for Bro. Watkins. You can post comments/condolences etc. There will also be updates concerning the funeral arrangements as well.

Re: Brother Carlton Watkins Has Passed Away

While I have only met him a few times and didn't really know him I have a lot of family members who grew up in church with him and were close friends for many years.

I have always heard only good things about this man. I believe he was liked and respected by all and that is a great legacy to leave.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Brother Carlton Watkins Has Passed Away

I was there in Daingerfield for Thanksgiving dinner in 2001. My ex husband's mom went to Bro. Watkins church... I met him but never got to visit church. Craig's mom passed away in 05.. but she loved Bro Watkins.. I never heard anything but good about him.

I will be praying.

for those who know that area, ever been to a little town called Marietta close to Daingerfield?
