“How ‘Bout Cha Droopy Drawers, Gotcha Ears On?”
“How ‘Bout Cha Droopy Drawers, Gotcha Ears On?”
In the mid-sixties, Brother Verbal Bean, preached a long and powerful revival in Port Arthur, Texas for 
Pastor Murray Burr. The church experienced a mighty move of God during that time.
I was taking care of the church in Silsbee, Texas while the pastor; Brother H.B. Morgan was on vacation. I only preached the regular service nights, so that gave me the opportunity to go a few miles down the road and hear Brother Bean on my off nights.
I sat in the audience and listened intently to this mighty man of God. We all were awestruck with moving of the Holy Ghost in the service. I’d never heard anyone preach like Brother Bean.
Heavy conviction was felt throughout the building as we stood for the invitation to come forward and pray. We all stood there feeling the strong pull of the Spirit, when the unbelievable happened…
An eighteen-wheeler passed by on the highway in front of the church. The trucker’s over-powered CB Radio blared through the Church’s loud speakers with, “How ‘bout cha droopy drawers, gotcha ears on?”
The moment for most was destroyed. Smiles and stifled laughter advanced to the next level. The service was officially over.

Haha, I remember when I was a kid, that would happen in our small church in the hills of northwestern California.

I remember those CB’s overriding the P.A. so well. 🙂 Also, I want to thank you for keeping the memories of the Elders alive. You are careful to mention them often in you blogs & I love to read about them.
Many love the message but you have a deep appreciation for the messengers as well. We love the Ballesteros & count it an honor to be your friend.

Elder Bean was amazing.
I have a message he preached in 1963, at youth convention in Madera, California. He said that prayer in most of Pentecost is gone. The title was ” The lost coin of Pentecost ” its sad but I wonder what he would think of todays Pentecost ? When you consider the point that most of us in our latter 30s consider the 60s to be old-tyme Pentecost….. If old-tyme Pentecost is what we want maybe we need to go back further all the way back to Acts 2.

I was out of the church from 1957 until 2002, don’t know any of these Elders, but love hearing about them. This story hit home with me because when I was a little girl, my nick-name, given to me by my older brother, was DROOPY DRAWS. Love reading your blogs almost as much as I love your preaching. Continue the good work. God Bless. I’m Silvie Guidry at First Pentecost Church of Sulphur, LA. Just learning computers, so I may get this posted.
