Introduction I have spent two decades as a writer, editor and public relations practitioner for various employers and nearly a decade as Assistant Metro Editor for The Washington Times. I retired from the newspaper in 2004 to attend Howard University School of Divinity. Yipeee, I graduated on May 12, 2007 with a Master of Arts in Religious Studies and a 3.8 GPA. I had a fantastic spiritual journey. Loved every moment of my course work, and plan to post some of my insights on this blog. As a retiree and a lifelong writer, I have looked back at some of the articles,essays and poems I have written and also will share them with you. So sit back, relax, read and enjoy our time together.
