Handsome Hubby & I Are Featured in Victorious By Design Magazine/I Will Be at the National Book Club Conference This Weekend!

AUDIOBOOK GIVEAWAY INCLUDED

Hello World,

As we close out July, I wanted to share that Handsome Hubby (my nickname for my husband) and I are featured in July’s issue of Victorious By Design Magazine ! In just over a week, we will be celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary!!! To God be the glory, particularly since before this relationship, I hadn’t had a relationship last longer than a year! Yes, I was a serial dater I have to admit! So if you’re interested in knowing more about how that happened, get your copy of the July issue of Victorious By Design Magazine by clicking HERE!!!

Also, I will be one of the authors at National Book Club Conference (NBCC) this weekend! I will be selling copies of Destination Wedding! By far, meeting with book clubs has been the best part of this novel writing journey! So far, Destination Wedding has been read by 14 book clubs as far as I know, and I met with my last one just after I gave birth to the twins while I was in the hospital! Yes, through God’s grace, I was a soldier and Zoomed in from my hospital bed. That’s why I’m SO EXCITED about going to the NBCC! If you’re in the metro Atlanta area, I would love it if you could stop by and holla at your girl. By the way, there will be many other authors there including but not limited to: former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young (my favorite former mayor) Victoria Christopher Murray, Tia Williams and Vanessa Riley! Click HERE for ALL of the details! And if you’re part of a book club, I humbly ask that you tell your book club about Destination Wedding. And in honor of NBCC and because I love y’all, I will send a link to listen to the audiobook for FREE if you can tell me the names of the twins I featured in Destination Wedding! (Hint: You can find out by looking at the free excerpt on Amazon!)

So that’s all I have for today!

Gospel Singer Kim Burrell Sings Beyoncé’s ‘Break My Soul’ Following Backlash After Calling Churchgoers ‘Broke’ and ‘Ugly’…

Hello World,

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of the Kim Burrell brouhaha, and if you haven’t, please update yourself by clicking HERE.  Well, it appears she is feeling sorry for herself or something as she sang a really sad version of Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” at  Mt. Zion Church of Ontario’s 100th Anniversary Gospel Concert in Ontario, Canada last Sunday…Check it out below…

About what she originally said, I have to respond with the Word…“What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.” Matthew 15:11

And to double down with James 3:10, I don’t care if she is a legendary gospel singer with the voice of an angel because it is also stated that “praise and cursing” should not come out of the same mouth. Some people may say she didn’t actually curse, but you don’t have to use official “curse words” to curse somebody out. And if she was trying to be a comedienne, it just wasn’t funny…

But hopefully, she has learned a few lessons from this, and even if you’re a woman of God, you are always growing…

Sapp came into prominence more than 30 years ago as a member of Commissioned and is widely known for his award-winning, chart-topping crossover hit “Never Would Have Made It.” Currently, he is an author, radio show host and senior pastor of The Chosen Vessel Cathedral in Fort Worth, Texas and pastor emeritus of Lighthouse Full Life Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan – the church he founded with his late wife.

All great news, right?!

Congrats to the Sapp Family!
