. He did visit my home church a couple of years later to pray with my wife and I over some health issues. I will never forget that meeting and prayer. It was very personable, and there was something about his prayer that made you feel as though everything was going to be ok as soon as he said "amen." Weird I guess how a 10 minute meeting can be stuck in the files of your memories.Teri in NC said:I stood in line forever one evening after church to ask him to sign a Bible that I had purchased for a fellow I was in love with.
I explained that it was a Christmas gift and how I had been mailing it to some of the fellow's top ten influences in his life to sign. He thumbed through it, scanned over some of the pages with writing on them, and looked up over his glasses at me and said, "So you had an extra page and thought you'd ask me, huh?" I was mortified. I started stuttering and explaining I was trying to get the ones from far away done first. Yada yada yada. He asked me who my home pastor was and I almost lied because I was so embarrassed.
He then laughed and told me to come pick up the Bible the next week.

I asked her to go and introduce herself her to him and tell him that she was marrying me. Surprisingly, she agreed. She walked up to him, shook his hand, introduced herself, and explained that she was my fiance. He looked at her and said, "Couldn't you do any better?"

I don't believe I ever thanked you for that Bible.
And quite a good judge of character!RAIDER said:Tom Brennan said:After I was already pastoring but still single Bro. Hyles was preaching in a town close to where Mandy lived.

He was quit witted and had a great sense of humor.

No.

I did pull a 3 x 5 out of my pocket and asked him a question as I was leaving the platform.
