    At one time he was probably the most well known minister on earth after Billy Graham

    When I was a young believer JS was my favourite preacher. He had a powerful gift to preach the gospel.

    Interesting. He became the exact opposite just before I got saved so that is all I have ever heard about him.

    I think I have said enough about myself here, more than I intended.

    I will say about my time with the Swaggart ministry, I made some great friends. Even though Jimmy was a great disappointment to us, me and my wife, we still have contacts with friends especially from the faculty.

    What does it matter ? Noone is going to hunt out details based on what you said.

    I am not thinking about that. I just am not one to look back, but I am now almost 78 and looking ahead to greater things.

    Ali brought back the memories I posted above. I thought it was funny how I stepped up and welcomed him and shook his hand. I really think for a moment he thought I was a rep from the store. But when the officials from the store and city showed up, he caught on to what I had done.
