THE ABOVE IS\u00a0 TAVEAU CHURCH,<\/strong> French Huguenot..from\u00a0 Taveau’s maternal ministry side. It is registered as an Historical Landmark in Cordesville (Monck’s Corner) South Carolina. This was at first a Presbyterian Church,\u00a0 in what the female founder (Taveau’s maternal grandfather’s side) said was ” I planted it as Presbyterian amidst a sea of Episcopalians.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taveau’s family was calm, patient, loving and very accepting and fully respectful of all types of human persons, and all races.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT Aside) TD’S FATHER’S SIDE.. patient sr pastor, teacher Father’s side (Miley Kimball Johnson, Jr was from Dallas, GA) and was also very similar. His father, MK Johnson, Sr was a school principal and then a school superintendent in the tiny area. TD’S father’s mother, his wife,\u00a0 was a happy Baptist school teacher, also a Bible teacher…and who had been one of 9 children born of a country doctor(she was more strict than Taveau’s\u00a0 parents. for when she visited, she would not play cards on Sundays!) But a loving servant minded determined child of God!<\/em><\/p>\n

Mentioned on the sign above…<\/strong> is either Augustus Taveau the son of the founder or the grandfather, some sort of relative to Taveau’s mother’s (seens as business apostolic) gentleman father.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TD’s maternal gran<\/strong>dfather, whom they called AT was Augustus Taveau Simons who founded a few insurance companies in Birmingham, AL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taveau recalls her greatgrandmother (whom the family called Bam) his wife<\/strong>, Marie Sandys Bowcock Simons, who descended from a country doctor who and his wife,\u00a0 who lived in Charlottesville, VA…. and who was Taveau’s own memorable chipper Bible Scholar, home missionary prayer warrior dear Grandmother, whom the family called “Boo” as a highly intelligent, quite humorous and gentle sober Billy Graham type of Bible teaching, training scholar Presbyterian.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, Grandmother Boo<\/strong> was one of the first women to graduate from Westhampton College which is now University of Richmond, VA and taught herself Greek and Hebrew in her Bible many Bible studies.<\/span><\/p>\n

She blessed many people<\/strong> for she painted her families basement to host poor children from the area to hold parties and teach them the Bible. She and her husband build a brick kindergarten out in the back of their house for the children (whom she would go pick up in her large station wagon and then take them back home) Also many persons wrote her their prayer requests. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, when Boo was 86<\/strong> she lived with Taveau’s family in VA Beach, VA and resembled the Bible promise: “when you old you will be full of sap and very green.” (timeless, ageless, humor)<\/span><\/p>\n

PLUS both of Taveau’s\u00a0 maternal g<\/strong>randmother’s God called daughters were pastors, pastor’s wife, Bible teachers as well as happy contented campers, their brother was a professor a University of Michigan way back in the day and he helped design the kitchen for the first Space Shuttles) . TD’S Aunt Mary Catherine pastored a small church outside of Richmond, and fed the poor and was a woman of GREAT FAITH and very selfless… and also saw\u00a0 many miracle prayer answers!<\/p>\n

However, all of these were unsung<\/strong> quiet calm, studious folk, who respected EACH AND ALL as “EQUAL” despite race, gender, income, education or religion. In fact TD never heard\u00a0 EVEN ONE accusation, gossip, swear word or racial accusation or demeaning abuse, Poor Me Complaining or character assassination….as these were ALL True Christians….and this is WHY she is so PERCEPTIVE of dysfunction…in Christian peer, ministry, fellowship, groups….for her LIFE was GOD GRANTED for such a time period as THIS to assist the Church in the RE-DIGGING THE FIRST CHURCH WELLS OF “RESPECT”<\/p>\n

SO TD VALUES IN HINDSIGH<\/strong>T her Ephesians 5:21(men and women, leaders, spouse) in “mutual submission in the fear of the Lord” which made it simple,easy, not a big issue (AT ALLas it was not trained but assumed by osmosis via Bible immersion) for the wedded wives to walk it out in Ephesians 5: 22\u00a0 also<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A REMINDER that TD rec<\/strong>alls each of these as pure hearted, emotionally healthy, seeming to be Godly contented …and surely..non famous, however, perceptive, discerning and laughing,\u00a0 down to earth True Apostolic Christian Family. ..<\/p>\n

MINISTERS…ALL OF YOU CAN BLAME<\/strong> TAVEAU’S GRANDMOTHER who used to claim in prayer, when Taveau was into her teenage angst, sort of (closet) in rebellion..for SHE (plus of course, all relatives) yet BOO would claim OUT LOUD (much to the teenage 16-17 year olds T’s disgust) “FOR TAVEAU TO BE ON FIRE FOR THE LORD” (so ministers…if this She Person upsets YOU.. …then blame the Her!)<\/p>\n

Now the church seems to be Methodist…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

NOTE: TD has yet to travel<\/strong> 3 hours to the Low Country to see it in person. YET.<\/span><\/p>\n

So we all can see perhaps WHER<\/strong>E this “birthing a new work” comes from in this generation.<\/span><\/p>\n

FOR ONE AND FOR ALL<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

FAITH OF OUR APOSTOLIC MANTLED COURAGEOUS FATHERS AND MOTHERS LIVING STILL.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And we honor Sister Taveau’s and ALL OTHER\u00a0 PERSONS OF EVERY Nations Fathers and apostolic Mothers.<\/span><\/p>\n

WE NEED TO REALLY …<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Honor your father’s and your mothers… so that your days will be long on the earth and it will go\u00a0 well with you” Ten Commandments<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
