Get close and personal with the me

Wednesday Jun 25,08

Hi

My name is Claudia and I'm the one who came up with this blogger and starting today I will let you get close and personal with me.

My journey started early this morning as soon as my foot hit the floor. I gets up really early in the morning to head to my job that pays the bills. If you don't know I'm an mother of 3 boys, wife, author, publisher and radio host. Now as my day gets started and I'm off to the bus stop, I forgot to tell you that gas is so damn high that I had to choose to put gas in my car or don't eat, guess which one I picked? I have to take two buses to get to my job and once I'm there I'm tired as hell,LOL. I'm not going to put you through all the details of my job and bore you to death. But I really have to tell you this, I wonder do everyone know that Gas is high as hell and still going up? I just wonder that because my supervisor missed the notice. She made her staff carpool with my friend to a training that was not worth the time or gas they put into it. I did my hours and headed home to get ready for my radio show that I have to do every Wednesday. I really look forward to my Wednesday's to do what I love and that is be the best host I can be. I have sat here on my computer for a long time and I look down to find it's the next day. Damn 1 in the morning. Good nite all and it's always tomorrow or the next day.

Author Vanessa Davis Griggs

From Vanessa Davis Griggs comes the second book in her Blessed Trinity Trilogy. Part Terry McMillan, part Jan Karon, Griggs delivers the story of a congregation hoping for heaven--while dealing with life right here on earth...

When Pastor George Landris, the dreadlock-wearing minister of the new mega-church, Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, urges his congregation to approach the altar and cast off their strongholds--also known as their weaknesses--it's the start of intense soul-searching for many.

From a married couple's twin addictions to gambling and gluttony, to a female member's adulterous affair, a computer expert's obsession with cyber-porn and a therapist's workaholism, the Pastor's church family is about to open the proverbial floodgates. And that's just the beginning. There's also the woman whose battle with mental illness hides a buried trauma, and the religious devotee who's so busy fearing the devil she's forgotten what faith is really about. The plot only thickens when the Pastor's wife lightens his load by helping him counsel--and finds herself at the center of a decades-long deception.

Insightful, witty, and always poignant, Vanessa Davis Griggs delivers another compelling novel, taking readers behind the scenes of mega-churches, and showing the amazing power that redemption and faith can have on people's lives.
