• 5:38
  Speaker 3: People have always complimented me on my writing, and friends
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: have said to me, you need to write a book.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I did not do that until after I retired. The
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: first time I was writing and editing for the Afro
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: American newspaper I hope you know about that oldest continuously
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I reading family owned black newspaper in the country, yes,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty three years. So I worked for
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: them for a long time. And when I retired the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: first time, the Lord started to tell me about writing
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: a book. Because it wasn't ever anything that I ever said.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I love to read books, but I never even thought
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: about writing books except for what my friend said to me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So that's what I did. When I retired. I wrote
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: my first book and I was sixty five years old.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: So it's never too late.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Now. See hold up, you are not y'all. Y'all need

• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on the screen. Get the melanin in your.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Stop because I wouldn't have thought then, Well, if I've
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: been married fifty seven years, you know I can't be
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: but so young.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You right? Okay, See I kind of miss math class.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You should see me helping my daughter with her math.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: That's me.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I just put it on the paper. The teacher'll tell you.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But I mean I didn't start writing.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I mean I wrote professionally as a journalist, but I
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: didn't start writing books until I was sixty five.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, So how did it feel to have
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that first book in your hand? Once you published?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: So exciting, I'm telling you, And the Lord gave me
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: a particular pattern timetable in everything, and the first book
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I had published by a Vanity Publishing company, and when
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I looked at the services they offered, I realized, because
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: of my experience as a writer and editor, a lot
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: of those things I could do myself. So when I
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: did the second book, I published it myself on KDP
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: on Kendle Direct Publishing, and that's what I've been doing
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: ever since then.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So how many books do you have out right now?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I think I have eleven. Oh yeah, I think I
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: have eleven. Now those are the ones that I have
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: written myself. I have some other books that I have
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: curated where other people have written chapters in the book,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: so I don't take credit for those, but I have
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: eleven that I've written totally myself.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Awesome. So how is being a journalist help you with
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: your writing?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Being a journalist has exposed me to a lot of situations,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of people. I have learned a lot having
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: been a writer for a long period of time. It
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: helps me with my writing to a degree because I'm
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: sort of a freestyle writer when I do my books,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: and it's a different thing than when I'm doing articles,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: you know, when I have to be concerned about format
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: and and all that kind of thing.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: It's it's a really different thing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: So it's a whole different feeling when I'm doing work,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: writing for work, and when I'm writing books.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, so how does your family feel about you being
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: an author?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: They were pretty exciting excited about it. When I did
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: my first book, my middle daughter was also doing a book,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: so we pretty much published at the same time.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: So that was that was in witing.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: And then this year one of the books I did
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: was published simul taneously with my other daughter and her daughter,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: so we had three generations publishing in December together.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: But that is awesome.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I try to stay ahead of the game and you know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: keep them encouraged all the time. And my friends too.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: It's like, you can still do it. Whatever it is
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: you want to do, you can still do it, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: you can always try something new. It's no need to
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: sit down and be old. Anybody could do that.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Truly, anybody can do that. So what is what is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: your writing style? If you had to place yourself in
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a box, and I know a lot of people do
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: not like to be placed in a box and I
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: hate people in the box. But if you were to
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: be placed in this box and you have to do
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a genre style for your writing, which genre would it be?
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: And why did you use that one?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Well, it's it's nonfiction, okay, inspirational. Oh, and I call
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: it conversational because when I'm writing, I feel like I'm
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: talking to a particular person, and so I just I
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: just my writing I think sounds like I'm having a
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: conversation with somebody. So a lot of it is story format.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I'm telling a story of an experience I've had or
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: something I've learned, or I'm telling a scriptural principle and
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: easy to read language.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I like that. All of my years working at a library,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of a book genre being conversational. I
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: love that.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: But that's my mindset. When I'm writing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I'm writing to somebody who might not understand something, especially
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: you know. My stuff is on grace, it's on prayer,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: it's on particular principles. One of my favorite books is
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Make Yourself at Home in God's Love, and it's that
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: and that answers the question does God love me? Because
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: most of us believe that God loves the world, God
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: loves the church, God loves the old people, and God
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: loves the children, But we don't have that specific knowledge
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: that God loves me, that God made me for his
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: own pleasure, and he loves me the way I am.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: He's not gonna leave me the way I am, but
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: he loves me just the way I am today. And
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: so that book has again the forty days, so it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: forty days of scripture and encouragement all about the love
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: of God.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: You just blew my mind. This is nothing because I'm sorry,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you're you're absolutely absolutely right, absolutely right, because when I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: thought about it, I don't say God loves the world,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: God loves the kids, God loves the older individuals, God
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: loves the church. But you're Raldom. You ran You hardly
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: hear anybody said God loves me. You did that. You
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: just blew my mind with that. And I can I
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: can really count on my fingers how many times I
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: said God loves me. Wow.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I have had the experience as a pastor to be
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: preaching and or teaching and to see somebody get it.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: And sometimes it's somebody who's young and never heard it before.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: But I have seen people who have been in church
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: there entire lives, and you can tell when they get it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: You see something change on their face, you see nicey
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: tears run out of their eyes. But it's that that
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: In that moment, they finally understand that God has specific
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: pointed love of them and just for them.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Man, you mean that light bulb came on? It is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: literally on, Like I can't, I can, I can barely
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: put on. Wow. God loves you, trees, absolutely.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: He has your face engraved on the palm of his hand.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Now that's right out the Bible. I didn't make that up.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: He has your face engraved on the palm of his hand.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, see all right, see okayes, get it together, get
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it together. Don't you do it? Don't you do it?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Don't you just start crying. I use to start crying.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So this cover I love it. It makes me smile
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and it makes me laugh. You guys, here's your chance
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to see the cover of her book, thirty one Days
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of Grace.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I think it's the joy of knowing God's grace. And again,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: we talk about grace, we say it's the unmerited favor
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: of God, or we lift up grace as something I
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: have that somebody else doesn't have. But grace again, is
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: something that God extends to us just because God chooses to.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: He's never gonna run out of grace. There's always going
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: to be enough grace for everybody who chooses to be
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: a recipient of his grace. And the thing is that
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: He loves us, and he does not allow us to
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: suffer the things that we could suffer as a result
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: of our behavior. He receives us into the family of
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: God forgiving our sins and clothing us in the righteousness
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Now that's something to celebrate.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: What means you want to do the book thirty one days?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Grace principally that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: But let me tell you something about what happened with
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: the book I had. I had not been writing for
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: a while, and so grace came to me to be
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: to begin writing again. And I knew I wanted to
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: be something with a number. But I listen, I get
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: all my instructions from the Lord through the Holy Spirit. Okay,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: So I started on the book. I wrote every day,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: and so at the end of thirty one days, the
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: book was finished. I am pastor at large at a
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: church called The Hill in Jessup, Maryland, and the leaders
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: had a retreat right around the time I was finishing
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: the book, and one of the presenters, a profit from
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: DC Bishop band de Cisco, gave a presentation at the retreat,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and she was talking about unique ways of giving and
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: some incidents that had happened at her church. And while
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I was listening to her, it came to me that
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: this could be a unique way for me to give.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: And so when I finished the book, I gave it
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: to my church as a fundraiser for a huge project
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: that we have coming up called Project Ephesus. And so
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: every diamond dollar that comes through this book goes to
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: the Hill because it's my joy to be a part
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: of the gracegiving that's going to make Project ephicis happen.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: And you know, get the information out anyway, get the
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: word out anyway. I even had our pastor, who was
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Bishop Antoine oh M Clerken right forward for this book.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: So this book means a lot to me, and I
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: hope it means a lot to the future of our church.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: So what your readers look forward to when they read
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: this book.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Little bits of little bits of things. The first thing
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: you'll see is a scripture about grace, and then you
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: will see either an inspirational writing. You might see some
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: quotes from somebody other than myself. Every day is something
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: different from thirty one for thirty one days.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you should really treat this like a journal
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: for grace.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Loving the I'm loving there.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: So if I pick up, if I pick up Day
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: twenty four, it says grace is for everyone. The thing
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I love about grace is that it can never run out.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: The thing I love about grace is that it is
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: multi layered and multi colored. According to Eugene Peterson's interpretation
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: in the message, his point is that there's no limit
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: to God's grace, whether you're purple or pink green, or
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: gray blue or black, or whether you're a child of
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the rainbow. There are no boundaries, there are no specifications,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: there is no one upon whom God's grace cannot operates.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I really think this is grace is something that we
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: need right now. Grace, understanding, empathy, love, We need those
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: things right now because the stuff that's going on in
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: this world it is bananas, and bananas is really not
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the word I can use or would like to use,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: but it's the first thing that comes in the mind.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: And I think if we are all can take a
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: moment just to just focus on that, it will make
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: things just, It'll make it better. Yeah, I won't say
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: it will solve everything, that it will make it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Better, because we want grace for ourselves, but we're not
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: always so fast to give other people the same grace
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: that we want.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And that's one thing I had to realize as where
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I'm working at, a lot of the people that come
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: in they just need a little bit of grace, a
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: little bit of patience, and a little bit of understanding.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: So sometimes I have to forget what I have going
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: on and understand that that's what they need. And I've
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: even helped one lady one time where I work at,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and just helping her made me forget about everything else
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I had going on. So you never know how you
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: show that grace, give that grace, and give that patience
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and give that understanding, how.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Would it affect your exactly?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: And God got all of it. He's just saying, just
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: listen to me. I got you. There's a reason why
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: that word grace is in the bouty and you're giving
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: us thirty one days to figure So remember offline, I
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: told you I had some fun questions.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Oh oh you.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Hard right, So here we go.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Here we go your book, Who would you like to
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: play if your book had a main character and it
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: was a female and it was a female.
