Post subject: Not Fade Away
The bass player found God under a tent at the O'Farrell County Fair
,
the O'Fair
!
,
as they billed it
.
Exclamation point and all
.
It was right after the pie eating contest
.
They were all pecan pies
,
donated by the Friends of Molly Albrecht Society
,
the town matriarch credited with bringing the smallpox vaccine into the county in 1899
,
at the height of the epidemic
.
A big grinning man in bib overalls won the contest
.
The huge red and yellow striped tent was sponsored by the Reverend A
.
Aaron Gildey and the Evangelical Church of Brown Springs and featured Bible readings and pamphlet dispersal and personal testimonies and free funnel cakes
.
And hey
,
it was A
.
Aaron Gildey
,
the regionally famous evangelist
,
healer of the
sick
.
the infirm
,
and the morally
,
physically and spiritually bankrupt denizens of the Pre
-
Raptured Midwest
.
There was foot washing and symbolic anointing in the Spirit and three te
e
naged girls lip synching and doing a dance routine to a prerecorded contemporary Christian pop song
.
Church elder Cordell Tackett and his wife Corrine led a group of fairgoers in sermon and song
.
One guy testified and
a lady fainted
.
What they told the bass player was this
:
Jesus was the ultimate conductor
,
see
.
He composed the soundtrack to our lives and He laid down His own life so that we could make beautiful music with ours
.
Will you use it to create a heavenly symphony or waste it on noise and disharmony
?
