Malone Thomason was a wonderful man of God, who has certainly joined the Heavenly choir. Even before I was a Christian, he welcomed me and allowed me to play drums for some performances. When I became a Christian, at the age of 24, I realized that I should confess before men. I had prayed a sinner's prayer on the side of, what is now U.S. 74-A. then immediately drove to his house. He was the person to whom I first confessed my new birth because I knew him to be a man of faith. Through the years, his faith has been unshaken. Few people can ever match his joyful faith, for which I am sure his rewards today are great.
