That's awful 😥
If he was going back for the boat bc he couldn't afford a professional, he should have at least purchased a life jacket. It's so hard to process senseless death
He tried to recover that Boat cuz he spent good money from the people's offerings, Greedy Pastor's
Revend Thomas was a man of God, and a Pillar of the Community. Very Tragic. Revend Thomas will be sorely Missed. Prayers to him and his Family, Rest in God's Heaven Always 🙏
Lol worldly possessions means what in the bible lol
This is sad. It sounds like the devil lured him back to troubled waters.
There is no pills for stupid!
I guess he wasn’t sure the Lord would provide again. 🤷♂️
For some odd reason this reminds me of the story of Lot’s wife in sodom and Gomorrah.
Rest in peace 🕊️🕊️
Wow very sad, MY CONDOLENCES
Sad that all the praying in his life didn't save him. God must have want him dead. Terrible
He should have left the boat alone!! He had a second chance at life but blew it.
He probably used the congregation's donations to purchase that boat.
WTF!!!🤨🤨🤨
You would have thought he had faith to walk on the water…he should have got somebody with the right equipment to tow that damaged boat out of that lake….Warning! before destruction….he could have at least had on a life jacket….
NJ Native here. You know, Florida reputation for their Florida Men and it has become a kind of Roman mythology in the USA. This fine gentleman was also a Florida Man, but he must have been like Jesus in this crazy landscape. 🙏 to the family. He must have been an incredible person to be around.
Now who let him do that😩
Material ish so sad
Pastor: *drowning*well, this is it. I am ready, Lord.
Rescuers: This is not your time to go, Pastor!! *rescues pastor^
Pastor: Like Hell it ain't goes back and drowns
Stupid is as stupid does . Or, play stupid games win stupid prizes. Either works.
Pastor Thomas was my youth pastor at Greater King David in Saint Petersburg. He was a very kind and great man, he passed right before his birthday. It was very confusing by how fast and sudden it happened but he had a great spirit and a bright smile. Rest easy Sean 🙏🏾❤️
