I always wonder why am I the one who continually attracts the misfit man, the dog, if you will. At this point in my life and with all that I have to give, one nagging question remains: Why am I not in a committed relationship with a man who has more than just words to offer, but is a man of his word as well as most importantly a man of the WORD? … Everything in me wants a man like my Father in heaven told me I should have. Loving. Dedicated. Sincere. Masculine. A real MAN. 
A man like … 
The night I met Mark I had on my favorite designer dress appropriately accessorized with a newly acquired purse and matching shoes. My revealing short skirt, while very attractive, made me feel a little self-conscious in church, but I got over it faster than the several pairs of eyes that kept looking at it… After the conclusion of the new members’ class ….I heard a sound as though straight out of heaven…. 
"Excuse me, Miss," he said. 
Tiptoeing like a graceful ballerina, I swirled around in slow motion. It was HIM. I hoped and prayed silently, "Please, Lord. Please, Lord. Don’t let me look as stupid as I feel." 
With his hand outstretched, he introduced himself. "Hi. I’m Mark. Mark Hayes…."

With all of the chaos, confusion, and uncertainty of life, we all need to know of the blessed assurances that God has for our lives. 
Blessed Assurance is an enjoyable, empowering, engaging, and encouraging example of the everlasting truth that God can move us from heartache to healing, burden to blessings, depression to deliverance, and from trials to triumphs. 
 Fast-paced, witty, entertaining, and inspirational, the writings are modern day renditions of biblical stories. 
In the short story, The Best of Everything, based on Hannah, you gain a better level of appreciation and thankfulness for what God has already done in your life, which will provide you with strength to endure in the midst of a crisis as well as give you patience as you await new blessings. Lust and Lies, based on Samson and Delilah, reminds us of the temptations of lust, the importance of honesty, the dangers of sin and the significance of repentance. Traveling Mercies, based on the parable of the Good Samaritan, teaches us not to place limitations on how and through whom God may send a blessing, and our responsibility to help people whom we often do not know. 
 Baby Blues, based on Abraham and Sarah, lets us better understand the importance of timing, patience, and consequences of operating in God s permissive will versus God s perfect will for our lives. A Sprig of Hope, based on Tamar, acknowledges that tragedy, sadness and betrayal are an unfortunate part of life, and yet ultimately there is healing, restoration and happiness if you place your trust in God. Sword of the Lord, based on Jephthah, confirms that your past can t define you if you give your future to God and that everyone at some time or another needs to forgive.

There is Nothing More Dangerous for a Man Than a Woman with a Plan 
With a level of confidence and style that most women would envy, De'Borah Harriston stood at the church sanctuary doors wearing a stylish designer ensemble so sophisticated and eye-catching that a trustee almost dropped the collection plate and his religion trying to get another glance of her revealing lowcut neckline. De'Borah's breasts were more out than some men in the choir. Clearly the older women in the house of worship were quite offended, but it made no difference to De'Borah. It wasn't their attention or approval she was after. 
Pastor David Josiah Goodwell had just entered the sanctuary wearing a robe that King Solomon would have wanted to borrow. Prior to his dad, the Honorable Reverend Cecil Douglass Goodwell, passing away, he thought the greatest challenge he would ever face in life would be living up to father’s expectations. Pastor Goodwell now agonize over the daunting task of having to tear down and destroy the bulk of everything his father built, including his family name, as he attempts to preach and teach the truth about Jesus to a congregation that ultimately may prefer to have the sugar water, non-substantive, carefree, no accountability to God gospel that causes for its church membership to grow, but not the people in it. 
You can’t have an affair with attorney Crystal Champagne Calloway's husband, become pregnant with his child, leave text messages saying Crystal's man is divorcing her, and then turn around and be the one behind releasing sex photos of her on the web--that she didn’t even know existed, causing for Crystal's mother to have a heart attack in church--while simultaneously being the unidentified source in the newspaper that has the police falsely charging her with aiding and abetting a money laundering, prostitution and drug cartel, and think you're going to have Crystal's kids calling you Mommy while she's locked up in the penitentiary for the rest of her life. Who you kidding?
