Which makes me think that Theriot is trying a bit too hard to APPEAR to be a preacher but was that cigarette a slip on his part?
Wow! I never considered that (probably because I didn’t know about preachers and cigarettes). That would make for an interesting twist. I will say that I would have put some money in the tray, if I were listening to Theriot preaching (and I’m a whole lot smarter than Rust would have assumed, based on that). He does seem to know how to connect to his congregation.
