I heard that a bride getting married inside the Coal & Iron Building was not appreciative of their effort to save souls by barking hellfire and brimstone at her guests loudly enough to drown out her exchanging of vows.  I walked up and gently suggested that they might be more successful in winning souls to the Lord if they weren’t so, well, direct about their contempt for everyone else. The woman smiled back and said, “Oh, if anyone has a problem with what he’s saying, they have bigger problems than him saying it, because they’re going to hell.”   M’kay…  Street preachers aren’t specific to Fort Payne. During a visit to Nashville this summer, there were proselytiz...
