How much do you think those precious memories impacted your young life, Sherri...I mean in regards to the type of ministry you are in today?!

I've looked at this question three times...does it make sense?!

I absolutely grew up loving church! I wouldn't miss for anything (except once a year when Cinderella came on Disney, sometimes I would feel a little sick that night!!). LOL!

But I always loved the presence of God and that affected me all through my life. I had a succession of pastors/pastors wives; some I learned good things from, some not so good. But it didn't stop me from wanting to be a pastor's wife.

The evangelists sometimes stayed in our house because it was a much larger house than the parsonage that the pastor lived in, and there were no hotels back then in little towns. Getting to know that evangelists were some of the best times of my little life.

I remember when it was the norm for the evangelists to stay with the pastor and his family. Folks would pick a night to bring something to the pastor's house, be it dessert or whatever to help out for dinner during revivals.

We all have a great heritage, don't we?!

Thank God for precious memories...

I remember going to campground and the cost was $15 and I had $5 to spend...

I only know Priscilla and Sarah Starr; the others are a bit older than me. I think one of them was Alexis, but I don't know her.

Yes that is correct...
