Mississippi Poor Boy - The Canton Spirituals, "Live In Memphis"

[@theresacox8472]

When I was in my twenties I got busted for drugs n had to move back home with my parents! And I had a job that I had to drive my daddy van! And this cassette was stuck in the cassette player! It help me get through a very rough time of shame! God brought me out n I never dealt with drugs again! Thank you Jesus!

[@glossietowner1381]

I come from Earle, Arkansas and I know what it's like to be poor. We went to bed hungry a lot of nights. We had pinto beans every night for dinner, except on the weekends we had fried chicken or spaghetti. Once in a while we had pork on holidays. But we knew God and He was GREAT to us. He brought us a mighty long way. I was sick and momma said the doctor told her there was nothing else He could do for me. So, she took me to the Pastor and he prayed for me and God healed me!!! Thank you God, our Father in Heaven, Holy is His name, Jesus and the Holy Ghost!!
