HAMMOND – Les Fogleman brought a little sunshine after a dark few days of storms to a fellow Louisiana Baptist pastor and his neighbors on Sunday.
Displaced himself after his home received 10 inches of rainfall, Lonnie Tucker was treated to a jambalaya lunch that was cooked by Fogleman in the Hammond neighborhood. Tucker, who is pastor of Stillwater Baptist Church in Hammond, said the Christ-like gesture allowed him a chance to visit with some of his neighbors for the first time as they all worked to repair their flood-damaged homes.
Tucker said Fogleman, pastor of Wadesboro Baptist Church in Ponchatoula, has always demonstrated true friendship to him.
“So, I wasn’t surprised, but I felt like we were soldiers in the trenches and his covering me by cooking while I was fighting by trying to get my house back together,” he said. You know you always fight better when you know there’s backup.”
