Rex Humbard


A bitter sweet goodbye for me to a very special era within my families life......

Alot of folks will say what they will about Rex, the funny thing about that is most of those folks didn't KNOW him, or his ministry.....

I doubt that even 1% of the folks that would so easily sit (or have sat) in judgement of him have ever even walked through the doors of the Cathedral of Tomorrow.

Alot of my childhood memories revolve around that church and the people who attended that church..... And they are such GOOD memories... I *grew up* at that church, I met and married my husband there.....

It is SO true that you tend to take things for granted (little things that you don't even take notice of)

I MISS walking into that sanctuary and looking up and seeing the GIGANTIC cross suspended from the ceiling, I miss the red hymnals that I hated so much, I miss watching my (then) *future husband* at that time fall asleep on the stage after playing his trumpet in the choir. ( I still giggle over that)

Most of all.... I miss the people... they were more than friends.... They were family......

Say what you will about Rex, and the Cathedral of Tomorrow.... But folks I *lived* it..... That ministry changed ALOT of people's lives for the better....

I'm glad he's "home" and I'm sure my grammy was in the choir that welcomed him........
