Once upon a time in a place not so far away and a time not so long ago, there stood an idyllic vessel of worship high on a hilltop in a real life forest which skirted the shoreline of a magnificent body of water
That place was on Toledo Bend Lake in Sabine Parisb, Louisiana. That time was in the 1970s and some of the 1980s as well. I’m not sure how long the run lasted, but by all accounts it was a good one.
The vessel was a sort of paddle wheel boat which was named Tom Sawyer, and was fashioned after the boats which paddled the Mississippi River in the books of the great author Mark Twain. The Tom Sawyer was not an actual boat and it did not ever actually touch the waters of nearby Toledo Bend… Or any other body of water for that matter.
