Re: Sis. Lois Gatlin Terrells new book
One last remark before I go....
I remember the remarkable strength exhibited by this woman of God as she pastored the church in Metarie, La. There, with all of those children, the burden of the church and many other things that was upon her all at the same time, she demonstrated unusual courage as she faced incredible challenges almost everyday. She won the hearts of some really fine men in the church that rallied to her in support. Sister Holmes with her son very often came down to support her and rally behind her which helped to bouy her across trouble waters.
I did not live there at the time but I was honored to visit with her on occasion. She was already one of my great heros, but she garnered my admiration as she quitely went about the Master's business in such a discreet, uncomplaining, faithful manner which seem to radiate the power of the resurrected Christ in her life.
I can't wait to get her book. I'm sure she will recall many things to my mind as I reflect over the years, the life of one of God's great handmaidens.
