Hey,

  I just wanted to stop in tonight to share this with you all.  Its really deep and serious, it has me sitting up here really really thinking.

Today on my way to work while I was at the light about to enter the freeway, I heard God say Lacrease I need you to pray right now as if this is your last day. So by me being shocked at what I heard, I said God you for real?( we talk like that) So I started thinking danggggggggg am I about to die? So I hear him again, say Lacrease pray right now as if it was your last day. I knew it was for real. I said Lord, forgive me for all my sins, every last one,. I want to see you and live forever, thanks for me having the best family in the world. I started praying like crazy saying everything I could think of before this light changed.

The light changed and I got on the freeway.

Im riding and riding, when all of a sudden I see  red brake lights,  before I could even break down , the truck in front of me make a quick dash to the right lane leaving me to see just how close I was to death. I too had to swerve over to keep from hitting the car, that was in front of the truck, from the back. I hit the breaks soooooo hard, that I got an instant headache that lasted for over 5 hours. My head was hurting so bad at work, that I was going to go home. And I neverrrrrrrrrrrr get sick, have headache’s or anything. I Thank God that there wasn’t a car to the right of me, because I HAD to get over, there was nooooo way I could have hit that car from the back and lived. I got to work in a daze, my day was good though.

Then………. I get to work today and see Melissa, a lady who is about to get married. Before I left for my leave she told me that she was pregnant. Even though I got back last week,  I didn’t see her until today. I wanted to ask her how was she doing with the pregnancy and all. But I heard God say Lacrease don’t ask her, wait until you see Rose and then ask her. Rose is her fiance’s mother, she is my coworker. So IM like okay. Then I see Melissa again. but she dont see me. So I start looking for Rose and realized that she didn’t work today. Guess you know later on………Melissa walks pass my register, and I say hey Melissa how are you doing. She smiles and say Im doing fine. Then I say how’s the baby. She said you didn’t know? Im like what? Then I knew before she opened her mouth. She says I lost the baby, didn’t you hear? Then she says oh no that’s right you were on leave. I wanted to disappear. God told me not to say anything to her. He told me ASK ROSE. Just because I didn’t see Rose today. does not mean dont wait until tomorrow. I was being disobedient, and I feel so bad. Melissa is okay, its just the fact that I should have listened to God.

Tests tests tests. Will I ever get a passing grade?

Lacrease

Good night

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you”?~~William A. Ward

Okay here\’s the big news.  Many of you may remember a
few years ago I was going to do a TV show.  I was very
surprised to find out that in TV when you go the
traditional route you really have no control over your
show.

They tell you what to say how to say it, and when to
say it.  God forbid you try to say Jesus. This didn\’t
sit right with me at all. When it comes to me and us,
I feel like I know what we want to see so if it
doesn\’t feel right
to me I have no problems walking away no matter how
much money. I was not about to go on TV and have you
all talking about me saying this show is
terrible…what was TP thinking.  It wouldn\’t have
been because I didn\’t
give my ideas, but because they shot it down and I was
out of there on the next thing smoking. 

With all of that said and because of your investment
in me I was able to write produce and finance 10
episodes of my first sitcom called \”House Of Payne.\”
Allen Payne (Jason\’s Lyric, New Jack city) plays a
fireman named CJ whose wife has a drug problem and
burns down their house to cover their mounting debt.
So, they have to move in with his
parents Cassie Davis, and Lavan Davis form \”Madea Goes
to jail.\” CJ has two kids and he and the grinds have
very different ideas about raising these kids.

I wanted this show to be what my movies are, funny
but serious with life lessons in them. Like my plays,
but for TV. Do you remember those shows like \”All in
the Family\”, \”Good Times\”, \”Rosanne\”, and \”Cosby\”.
The shows
that everybody wanted to watch because they not only
made you laugh, but they had some heart. Well, this is
one of those shows with heart.

This was a huge gamble, but if I know anything I know
my faith. And I know my folks, And that\’s why I did
it. If you
give it a chance I know you\’re going to love it.  This
has never been done before, not like this, but I know
it will work.  I\’m always asking ya\’ll to do
something, buy this
book, pay to see my movie, buy a ticket to the play,
buy the DVD. Well, now I can say this wont cost you
anything, just a little of your time.

Now, these ten episodes will run only in ten selected
cities. If I had my choice it would have been all over
the
country. I\’m working with a company that needs to know
that people will watch it if it goes to the rest of
the country.

So it airs in New York and Houston on May eighth, and
eight
other cities soon to follow.   Here is the schedule
as I know it. As we get closer to the release date of
your city, I\’ll send you some reminders. I hope I
don\’t work on your nervous by then. (smile)
