Chess, Checkers and X’s and O’s

I write blogs, I preach sermons, I mentor and I coach, all with the desire to make a difference.

This is my second Versatile Blogger Award – a Nigerian prince told me there was prize money the first time but I haven’t seen the check – fooled again, at least I didn’t send him any money this time lol !

It is an honour to be nominated for a blogging award by anyone but it is even more special to have Mitch, someone who shares my love for directing, acting and performing music, include me as one of his nominees. Thanks Mitch! (more…)
