Today's Guest Blogger, Mr. Pompey Hawkins

Oh...I'm supposed to type this? I thought I could just speak into a microphone or something and tell you about my thoughts and get back to work. You know that I moved up to St. Louis back in the 1970s but I still miss Charleston, Mississippi. I really miss being able to hang out with Murcheson, or Bishop James. But I like St. Louis, lots to do, and a lot folk from Charleston, Mississippi up here. Been fun celebrating Charleston Day.

Oh...back to the business at hand. Lee Allie is glaring at me for wandering off of the subject. So here it is. Them high-stepping folk in the Gospel United Church have been working my nerves. They just don't get it. And some of them like Sonny Washington and Marcel Brown make it hard for my step Son-in-law, Theophilus Simmons, and his boy, Eddie Tate, to do what's right by the church. Those boys love the Lord. But they sure do have a mess on their hands, as they get ready to go out and down to Durham, North Carolina for the 1986 Triennial General Conference. They are holding it up at the college...Evangeline T. Marshall University. Heard they have some gooooooddddd basketball out in North Carolina. Maybe its as good as my barbecue...ummmm...maybe not.

I'm out of steam and gots to go, Mr. Pompey.
