"These black proverbs will make you laugh, nod in agreement, remember your grandparents’ wise sayings or simply mutter a heartfelt “amen.” Crammed with pithy advice, Lifelines sheds wisdom on just about every situation from childbirth to adultery to choosing friends. Hallelujah and pass the proverbs."
- Betty DeRamus, author of Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories from the Underground Railroad and Freedom by Any Means: True Stories of Courage and Cunning on the Underground Railroad.
God works in mysterious ways that smmotiees we don’t understand. Life is full of surprises and detours. If we can stay in tune with God closely, a detour is not always bad. When you strive to be in His will, you listen, and obey. In my life, as you know, God has redirected my path on several occasions, and He has blessed me through it all. I think the hard part is taking self out of the picture and letting God be in the driver’s seat with whatever happens in life. You know what I always say: When God closes a door, He always opens a window.
