Pastor Gets Married For The Third Time - At Age 100

<snip>

MORRIS CHAPEL, Tenn. --Rev. James Rual Chalk quoted from his favorite book of the Bible, Genesis 2:18 which states: 'It is not good for man to be alone.' Then, for the third time in his 100 years, he tied the knot Sunday with longtime friend Evelyn Johnson, 68 at the House of Mercy.

Chalk preached in the same pulpit the week before on his birthday. A fixture in the community, the preacher (who also works as a contractor) has known Evelyn since 1982. Her husband died in 1999, and his second wife, Lois, passed a year ago after a long illness.

The pastor and his new wife, with their families combined, have four children, 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

Pat Griffis, a close friend of the newlyweds, said they now try to discourage Chalk from driving after he got a speeding ticket a few months ago.
