ABOUT THE BOOK

Two men think they’ve found the perfect opportunity–a chance to rob the stash house of Simon Shuller, one of Philadelphia’s biggest drug lords. But their plans are spoiled when one of Shuller’s men catches them as they break into the stash house. Temperatures flare as the men capture Shuller’s worker, Poncho, and force him to show them the goods. What they didn’t expect was for Poncho’s partner to be armed and very dangerous. An altercation breaks out and when the smoke clears, Nard, Poncho’s accomplice, is the only one left standing. Thinking quickly, Nard cleans shop and makes his escape, but not before being spotted by a few neighbors. Not wanting to kill anyone else, he makes a mad dash for the streets but wonders if the witnesses will give up his identity. What he needs now is a plausible alibi. If he doesn’t come up with one fast, it could mean life in prison, or death on the streets.

Love Beyond Measure

My church has been blessed tremendously by the Church Builders. Approximately 300 people from Texas and beyond volunteered their time and resources to help build our church.  Sunday it was only a slab, the pictures below is what the volunteers did on Monday by high noon.  volunteer3

I’ll also share some pictures of the ladies who are part of the volunteer crew who work hard to make sure the workers eat well during break time (my mom’s in one of the pics).

God is awesome and the love and kindness shown by strangers to my church family has my heart overflowing with joy.  I just couldn’t keep this news to myself.  God can bypass a bad economy–we’re living proof.

Real Life Love Story

I wanted to start the week off celebrating love. Congratulations to Victoria Rowell (author/actress) on her recent nuptials to Radcliffe Bailey.

Excerpt from NY Times:

Ms. Richardson Jackson, an actress (“Joe Turner’s Come and Gone”), recalled: “Vicki had been talking to me about her despair, and I told her that I was going to introduce her to someone special. The words came out of my mouth, and the minute they did, I knew they weren’t mine, that they’d come from above.”

Ms. Richardson Jackson had also been telling Mr. Bailey, who had an exhibition at the festival and whose art she and her husband collect, that he, too, would find love. “He had kids and was divorced and I said, ‘It’ll come again, don’t despair.’ ”
