Describe yourself for our visitors.
I am a Christian, a wife, a mother, a military spouse, a teacher, an entrepreneur and a young African American woman.
How do you find time to connect with God?
I use my weekends to read my bible, I listen to gospel music and pray on my drive to work. I drive an hour to and from work each day so it a great time to connect with God and really spend some personal time with Him.

Vanessa, describe yourself for our visitors.
I am a sister, daughter, friend, and lover of Christ. Who happens to also be an author, poet, and playwright. I love meeting new and interesting people.
How do you find time to connect with God?
I make the time. When I wake up in the morning. There is a thank you. Even when I am sleeping I can suddenly awake and say thank you, Jesus. This was not always so. I have been condition to do so. I suffered from a physical ailment for seven years. I would pray morning and night. Literally because of the physical pain I endured. I slept with chest tubes in my lung, due to repetitive lung collapsed. But there is glory in my story. I am connected with God.

Dr. Hall, describe yourself for or visitors:
My name is Dr. Neal Hall. I am a graduate of Cornell and Harvard Universities. I am a practicing medical and surgical eye doctor (Ophthalmologist). I have evolved into a poet and author. I began writing poetry in high school; only later in life did I find my voice, vocation and salvation in composing verse.
I’ve recently published a critically acclaimed anthology of verse titled Nigger For Life; reflecting my painful discovery, that in “unspoken America – the real America" race is the one thing on which I am is “first” judged by which I am is “first” measured, “first”, against which my life and accomplishments are metered diminished value, dignity, equality and justice. All of which having everything to do with accessing choice, opportunity, power and freedom in America.
