| Description | Ophelia Ford's words were still ringing Friday after she claimed God chose her for a role in the District 29 election controversy.
"He chose little, old me to use," Ford said Thursday. "I don't know when y'all are gonna get that. It's not about me. I'm just little, old me and I've been chosen. I've been chosen to get in this election by the lord that I serve. I didn't want to get into this controversial election but the lord I serve chose me."
Two years ago, Mayor Herenton remarked that God had chosen him to lead the city of Memphis.
"I believe that God called me for this moment in history," Herenton said.
Today, Mayor Herenton said he felt for Ophelia Ford. He thought some media outlets ridiculed her. |
