Humorous

[pastorables]

Tonight after work we stopped by the supermarket for meal to make cornbread. I sat in the truck while my wife and son went inside. During checkout my wife inadvertently gets behind Karen Wheaton in line. Keep in mind that we are just getting off work so my wife looks unkempt and she's buying a bag of meal only.

Obviously noticing the meal, Karen turns to my wife and offers her allotment of "shopper savers coupons". My wife said that she didn't take it personal as Karen seemed genuine about the offer and could have offered them to anyone. My wife kindly responded that we didn't use them.

We just found it humorous that Karen could have thought my wife was poor based upon her disheveled appearance and lone bag of meal.

We clean up good though. We look forward to the time when we can formally meet and greet with Karen.

What can you do, man? Just smile and wave and say thanks.

That's pretty good.

She is a Christian singer. She is on TBN all the time with an enterage of dancers and many times she is on there with Judy Jacobs.

Who says you have to be poor to use "shopper savers coupons"?
I know of a few rich people that do (as they save every penny
they can as well).

I've actually done that same thing to the person in line
behind me - especially if its a store I don't go to very
often (I know I'd never save enough coupons to use for
anything & if they can fine - otherwise I'd just carry the
things home & then pitch them).

She was (maybe still is??) COGOP growing up. Vernil Sides was her pastor for a long time in her youth (he was mine for a couple of years, too, and a very good man). She used to live in Decatur, was married to Dewayne Wheaton (her maiden name is Harris, I believe), who had -- at one time -- a computer business here. I think he still lives in Decatur -- maybe not. They were part of Calvary Assembly of God here in the 80's and early 90's, as I recall.

Ahhhhh....TBN.

The Blasphemy Network.

Guaranteed one outrageously insane teaching about Jesus A day.

Well in these tough times at least there's one thing you can rely on.

I don't watch christian tv. Period. I dont' want to be swayed by anyone who uses this medium.....don't agree with much of it at all.

I do follow some things by use of the internet... but I can scan what I need and "spit out the bones" not having to try to get through a bunch of junk.

Anyway, I do know Karen from years gone by....she is a great lady and a great Christian.....sadly, she was thrown away as have been soooo many..David Baroni, Darrell Wiiliams, Steve Warnier, and the list goes on...

She was another of those who would have and could have brought some credibility to the music scene for the org......oh well,

As her pastor for a year I feel the same way about her. I know that the COGOP lost in losing her. She and her sister were fire balls when they were young, preaching and singing over the state of Alabama. But the church as a whole didn't buy into them and they ended up going else where. Her home town is Hamiton, Al where a lot of her family lives. I don't if she live there or not, but she has a ministry there caklled the "Rant" or something like that.

The Ramp. I catch it from time to time.
