A long ago memory

This event happened some 50 years ago when I was in Homer.  We printed the bulletin for the Baptist Church on Thursday with the pastor usually editing it.  One day the preacher shocked us when he said, "Even a preacher needs  once in awhile  to go behind the barn, smoke a cigar, and say damn,"

It's true, all of us are stressed at times.

This same minister was the subject of a tale that went around town.  Children were being taught to pray in public.  One youngster concluded his prayer with this request, "And help Brother ----- find a new church."
