Pride is like a bad bet. It will cost you everything and leave you with nothing. – C.F. Leach
But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. (Daniel 5:20 ESV)

A walking miracle---her spiritual journey began at seven years old, when she was baptized by the late, Pastor K.L. Moore, Jr., of the First Baptist Church in Frankfort, Kentucky, her birthplace. Very thankful for her spiritual upbringing which gave her a strong foundation and a respect for the word of God. Which now affords her the opportunity to share His word with others and testify about His saving her from leukemia.
She is the mother of six, a cancer survivor, pastor, and previous newspaper editor. Has published articles in The Voice In The Wilderness Magazine and a poem published in Great Poems of the Western World. She along with her husband, Elder Bobby Leach, live in Land O Lakes, Florida.
Pride is man made.
