Not sure what to say?





There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't think of Brother Loden and his entre family. I praise God for him. He led Linda & I to the Lord while we were stationed at Keesler AFB. He was a loving, caring and compassionate Pastor. He walked the walk . Linda & I will be eternally grateful for Brother Tim and his family. Because of Brother Tim , I am a preacher today. See you once again in Glory.

Brother Loden was my first Pastor @ Temple in Biloxi, and I loved he and Mrs. Loden very much. He was instrumental in my growth as a Christian, always encouraging & loving. I started teaching Sunday School @ age 16. He would come up to me, put his arm around my shoulder in his loving, fatherly way and say,"Erm, (he always called me that)you have the most important job in the church." He made me feel like I had an important place in the Lord's Church, and therefore I took it very seriously, always trying to do my best. My condolences to his Son & family who grieve his loss. May the Lord comfort you as only He can. May it bring comfort to you to know that he was very loved by others and will be remembered for the rest of our lives. He is not really lost, for when we loose something we don't know where it is. I know where he is and look forward to our reunion. It will be out of this world!
