A Sobering Truth 
A fortuneteller once told me I had a curse hanging over my head and only she could lift it. "What kind of curse?" I asked, pressing for details. She wouldn't specify until I'd paid $50 up front and booked more sessions with her. I laughed, but cringed inside. While I didn't return to see the woman, I already knew what the curse was.

God bless you today and always. The struggle can end as easily as turning around; but it always looks as large as a mountain.

Thank you for your testimony.

Dear La Shawn, I loved your autobiographical article. I live in DC also, and would like to get to know you better. My life and yours have so much in common. Mainly, I am a Christian much like you and a Conservative as well. I write every day and have many thousands of pages on my computer, but nothing published other than a few letters to the editor of TWT. You are so accomplished I stand in awe of you. Do you go to McLean Bible in Virginia, by any chance? I guess I should tell you that I am White, but don't hold that against me. I only care if people are Conservative Believers, and try not to judge on any other basis. My cell is 703 508 1267. Maybe you could help me with my web sites and/or help get me published, and launched. I think I could help you too. Things I would like to do, are start a church, build a powerful website, do a radio and tv show, to name only a few things I want to do. You can also email me at tommix76@yahoo
