MY PASTOR IS AN ELVIS IMPERSONATOR—THE 70’s VERSION! Well, not really. It’s something he does for fun now and then---whenever the opportunity presents itself. And I must say that he is rather good at it. Around the church he is affectionately known as the “king.” Please notice that the “k” is in small caps because he is anything but royal,unless you take into account his standing before THE KING.

I suppose if he ever had to go bi-vocational, he could appear at Graceland Community Church and sing such notables as…
Blue Suede Shoes of Peace
Heartchange Hotel
Love Him Tender
All Shook Up by the Spirit
Philippian Jailhouse Rock
Hard Headed Sinners
Suspicious Cults
Viva Las Jesus
Don’t Be Cool
Return to The Sender
Are You Searching Tonight?

Fortunately for his congregation, he hasn’t yet lost his focus and broken out in an Elvis song during a sermon (although I suspect he has come close a couple of times).

Rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated. In fact, he was spotted in Burger King the other day (come to think of it, he goes there quite often).

At a recent fun event, as he was serenading the audience, some OLDER women went quite berserk as they screeched in apparent delight. Moved by their affirmation, he sang an extra verse or two. It was a hoot. Missing were his rhinestone Bible, cape, and Cadillac (the official Board put thumbs down on the later).

It was reported that a mysterious gentleman was observed in the rear of the auditorium. When asked the reason for his presence, he said that he was looking for new talent for his record company. He did not state his name but simply referred to himself as “The Colonel.”
