AbundantGreasyGrace,
I went to High School in Natchitoches, Louisisna. Not Southern La. but not too far away.
Thanks for this thread. I appreciate your initial post. Hopefully it will speak to others who might be harboring unaknowledged bitterness or resentment.

LOL...
His Grace is Abundant, but Not greasy... I haven't heard that term in a while.
I used to preach in Natchitoches for Brother Whitehead. Been a few years ago. As a matter of fact, the first message that I ever preached was in his church. Great fireworks show there at Christmas time and great meat pies too!

You are much younger than me. I graduated from HS there class of 77. I moved back for a couple of years after Bible College then moved in March 83 just a few weeks after Gaylon Allen came to pastor there. I don't know Pastor Whitehead although I think I did visit once after he became pastor.
You are right that the Christmas lights are awesome and the meat pies.

Brother Gayln Allen... My pastor in Westlake when he passed away back in '99. As a matter of fact, I was singing in the choir at his funeral and have the video in my cabinet still. I loved that man like my own family. He was an awesome pastor in Westlake and that church has never been the same. I still miss him tremendously. Wow, it's a small world after all!

Sister Allen / Craft and TLC sat with me and my wife at TLC's granddaughters wedding here in Nashville about 1 1/2 years ago and I reminded her that she had been my pastors wife for a week or two! I remember them bringing a really nice door hanger flower arrangement to the hospital when my daughter was born which really impressed me because they knew that we were moving just as they were coming to pastor but made that gesture anyway.

Yes, that's just the kind of people they were. They were just genuine and they really cared. He knew how to reach people that nobody else seemed to be able to do. I really, really miss him and her both. Just wonderful people. Thank God for allowing them to pass my way. They made an eternal impact. Thanks for the memories!
