What I Know About Trump's Preacher - 08/09/17
In fairness, I think he appointed himself rather than be chosen by Trump. His name is Robert Jeffress and he has a recurring gig on Fox along with being the Pastor of First Baptist of Dallas.
He pastored First Baptist in Wichita Falls prior to being "called" to Dallas. He loves media attention and today I heard he had blessed a Trump in whatever action he chose to take against N K., using Paul's letter to the Romans as a basis.
He was forever grabbing local headlines here. One example was when he found out the local public library bought two copies of " Heather has two Mommies" to loan out. When he couldn't shame the Library Board into burning them, he asked his congregation to keep the books checked out and pay the fines so tender eyes wouldn't be subjected to it.
That's not the sort of thing Baptist Pastors do as a rule.
We went to his church one Easter Sunday thinking we would see the usual special presentations and hear special music. The entire hour was devoted to a video of the architects drawing for a new sanctuary and a plea for donations to the building fund.
Raising the money for the new building was his ticket to Dallas.
Looking at him reminds me of what an old Mississippi Riverboat Captain told his son, who told it to me:
" Don't trust no SOB if you can put bof his eyes out with one finger."
