Are We Saved Snobs?

Hello all!
I don't know if you are familiar with the Apostolic Lighthouse Church in
Dayton, Ohio, but in their choir is a 300-pound black lady who can always be
found on the platform, mic in hand, singing until she can't sing anymore and
then dancing (often right off of the platform). She is full of the Holy
Ghost and sets their church *on fire*!
At the After-Easter Feast this past April, she testified about the "skinny
white woman" (her words, not mine), who found her three years before, drunk
and dirty in a Kroger's parking lot. The white woman bent down and said to
her these words only: "Jesus loves you."
Days later, in her miniskirt, red lipstick, and jewelry, the lady set out to
find that little white lady's church. She said she went into one church, and
it was too quiet, and she knew it wasn't the one. Finally she found herself
at the Lighthouse, found her friend, and the rest is history!
Every time we visit Brother Shearer's church we are *blessed* by her spirit.
If someone hadn't bent down to literally pull her out of the gutter, we
would be seriously deprived of a wonderful saint!!
