Many many moons ago i recall a story of the local preacher for the lil church down in the toolies my family used to frequent.
Guy was a good fella, he just like his 'spirits' so to speak.
6 days a week he was falling down drunk, come sunday he was a fire n brimstone preacher.
One story i recall was my uncle was going down the road and seen a body laying in the ditch in the rain,. He stopped to check it out. It was the preacher and he was three sheets to the wnid and face down in the ditch. Supposedly not uncommon.
Uncle roled him face up so he wouldnt drown in the ditch and went on his way. That sunday you wouldnt know anything had happened...lol
I met him when i was lil and he seemed a decent man, but oh the stories i heard over the years.
Preachers just aint what they used to be.
