Pride Fail
Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.

New York or Bust
Earlier this year I thought it was time for me to leave New York City. However, over the summer, I realized my time in the City isn't quite over. I remember when this city had me on my knees.

MAN & WIFE = LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT
MAN & WIFE = LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT by LaShawnda Jones “My goal with the two-projects-that-are-really-one, is to make them complimentary to each other. I have no desire for The Helper to outshine The Worker. Nor do I want The Worker to dominate The Helper. Just as in life and in marriage, the two should be both bearers of light and reflections ofContinue reading "MAN & WIFE = LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT"
Man & Wife = Leadership & Management
So, the above six words have been with me for over a month. When they first came together in mind, I realized I had finally hit upon the approach for my two companion books-in-progress: The Worker: A Man of God and The Helper: A Woman of God.
