It was a strange experience, but it stuck in his mind. 🤯 Now, the lead-in to all of that was trying to escape a “rascal” type of life. But, as they say, wherever you go, there you are.

Almost. But, he missed it by, well… it was closer to striking it big than you can imagine. 💰 After that, the family began calling missed opportunities “The Malcom Luck.” And they did so affectionately… … b/c if you truly believe God works all things together for the good, that means you REALLY cannot lose. ❤️2024-08-2611 minRise Up!Rise Up!7 | Why good girls go back to bad menThis is something that’s hard to figure out— from the outside looking in.

We need men to be more like the men they were designed...2024-07-2213 minRise Up!Rise Up!2 | There's almost always a reasonYour past doesn’t excuse you, but it does explain some things about you.
