Bluebonnet was kind of the sticks at the time. Now we have rappers getting shot right down the street though.

It’s amazing how fast the growth areas of the south can transform from deer being shot to rappers being shot. In this case it was barely 30 years.

Pre-JSM, we used to ride dirt bikes all up and down Bluebonnet and up in the fields before they paved it.
As for Swags before the scandal, it was huge. I went to a youth church called Crossfire for a bit after the main church moved into the new sanctuary. Crossfire would meet at the old sanctuary. When the main church moved to the new sanctuary things kind of started to take on a different vibe that I really didn’t care for, one more of pomp and circumstance than what I liked at the old church which was more down to earth, and significantly less showy. Jimmy then became more of a star attraction when he was in town and not on a crusade. People started to say stuff like “oh brother Jimmy this” and “brother Jimmy that” and that never really sat well with me. It bordered on hero worship sometimes, and I wasn’t there for Jimmy as I was for Jesus. In any case, Swag knows scripture like the back of his hand, and I respect him for that, but I still have no real interest in going back there.

Yep.
I remember when there wasn’t much on Bluebonnet besides Swaggart’s church and a few other buildings. On Saturday nights my family used to go out to eat. One night my parents wanted to try this “new place” near Swaggart’s complex called they’d heard about from their friends called…Subway.
