TRUCE Magazine Memphis

      M y baby has got a new home. I am so please to announce that TRUCE Magazine will now be sold at the COGIC bookstore located on Madi00000son. It is truly a great fit. I have personally been a COGIC member since the 1980’s. I rember when the building on Mississippi was first purchased from Mount. Vernon Baptist Church.    I was so young then. I truly believe it was the teachings of Bishop G.E. Patterson that saved me from the streets.   Now after so many years this same salvation is bringing my dream home to roost. GOD is good. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

               I Woke up this morning feeling the presence of something real.  It was something I needed more like a revelation but put in the form of an inspiration. I was having a moment with the creator. You see there are some mornings when I wake up and I really don't want to be where I am in this walk. I really don't want to be a servant. My flesh desires to act out and do stupid stuff. Yeah, I know many of you might say well that means you are not saved. However, I am reminded of what Paul said about his own behavior. "That which I would do" I do not, and that which I would not do that is what I do"  Just then I knew the something real I was feeling was the hand of God reminding me that He understands that I am still inn this flesh and I am saved by His grace and that is sufficent. I got up from my disappointment and with this written note I give Him praise for being real in my life.  You see it is so easy to say you ...

     I always wanted to be a writer but coming from my background of  business owners and fatory workers how could I ever know what it would be like to surf the creative wave. Still the desire never ceased. One day I found myself asking if there was nothing else in the world I could do with this life what would I miss doing most? I imediately began to write. Years later a dream was birthed and TRUCE Magazine was started.  Today it is still growing and developed from a local magazine to presentation on the national stage. It is  a dream come true and a goal I never imagined I could acheive. But here I am celebrating another successful edition.  Beleive me when I say it is never to late for your dreams to take form. Get out there and DO It!
