Thanks for the encouragment Anita. My wife once asked why I reffered to myself as a Marine, when her father always said, I am a former Army Sgt. Upon Graduation at Paris Island, I was instructed "No matter where yolu go on this good Earth of God, You will ALWAY'S BE A MARINE". I love my Corp and will shed blood on the flag to ensure the stripes remain red, even today. I believe in the Strength and Dignity through honor. I believe in being Faithful "Semper Fi" always faithful. This situation I encountered was thought by the policeman and all involved would just be another day at the office. Well, it was not. I want to share something with youo and everyone else here. In 2003 I was broke, Homeless and in a very bad way. Christmas that year was spent by myself and my 3 children in a 1991 ford explorer and santa came from the gadget shop at the Truck stop. Petro in Jackson, Miss. Now prior to 03' I had the life of Riley. I lost the mother of my oldest 3 children in 1999 and it just went downhill from there. I worked with a local bounty hunter by night and hit the record room each day. Not having decent clothes I went to the salvation army goodwill store and purchased some clothes and a pair of Cole Hahn Loafers. (I Still have them today in a shadow box in my Office) When a good bounty was picked up, I would rent a room for me and the kid's and if allowed a meal out on the town. I had picked up some abstract work and got paid monthly, and again a little celebration by me and the kids would be had. However, i never gave up, gave out a few times, but never gave up. In early 2004 I landed an account with a large law firm in Jackson, Mississippi that paid weekly. After the first 2 checks I rented a small cramped an apartment. Next thing you know, I was getting call's from every Major Law firm in Jackson. In 2004 I met and fell in love with a woman I thought God had stopped manufacturing. She came into our house and turned into a home. And my childen fell in love with her to as she is now known as Mama. And she makes it a point they never forget their birth mother. Things only got better. In december of that Year we had a beautiful little girl we named Madison. Most important she took me for what I was, a struggling Dad trying to make end's meet. She jumped in and rolled up her sleeves and went to work promoting my work everywhere. In 2006 we had another beautiful little girl we named Ella Grace. At the end of 2006 I was able to build and pay for the house of our dreams, a beautiful 4200 Sq. Ft. right on the water with the kitchen she always wanted, and it is paid for. The reason, I share this is to let everyone know, have faith, believe and never give up. I thank God for the Corp instilling that NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER, sense in me. I still find myself gettin up at night and just walking thru the house and out by the pool and into the garage and behold all the blessing's My Father in heaven has blessed me with. I also know, I didn't get it without a fight or just giving in, or God's anointment upon me. We still have the old Explorer, and I have the couple of outfit's from the good will hanging in my closet as a reminder. In my Office when I am overwhelmed and let the Devil attempt to bring me down, I look at those shoe's in the shadowbox. I know right now people in this Industry are on the verge, maybe someone who reads this. I ask you though, to take my journey of life at heart. Do not back down, Do not give up and do not surrender. My email and phone number is on here, and I will always be open to anyone that need's me. So, now that you know a little more about me you will understand. There will be no backing down and no giving in. This fight for me has just begun. "Semper Fi"
May God Truly bless you all
