It’s been a long wait, Fam.

But we are rounding the corner into our final publishing stretch of “Confessions of a Hollywood Christian: Take I“. We are super excited!

Quick Question

Error: Contact form not found.

Please click/pick one. I deeply value your opinion and we’re trying to figure out the best release. Most of our supporters have been saying they read now through their iPads, Kindles and Nooks. We’ve even had a couple of requests for the audio book. We will probably release first through electronic means, but do we even need to print hard copies?

ABOUT Confessions
For those who may be reading about this for the first time, here’s the skinny:
Confessions of a Hollywood Christian is the first book in the new series by award-winning actress and Doctorate in Ministry candidate Rev. Naima Lett. Through candid, entertaining stories about her journey as a minister breaking into Hollywood, Naima encourages us to experience the freedom of living in truth and accepting who God created us to be.

Truth Sets Us Free

Jesus says in John 8:31-32, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Ready for some truth-setting freedom? Me too!

Please let us know your choice.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Naima

Why April Fool’s?

Ever wonder why we have April Fool’s Day?
Good luck figuring it out. I tried this morning.

What is agreed upon is its origin is uncertain, its history is unclear, and nobody really knows when it became a worldwide phenom.

Faith Roots

It’s curious how many of our worldwide holidays stem from events of faith. On a side note, yesterday, Easter, was amazing. I hope to have pictures back soon to share with you. We had our first baptism and communion at Hope in the Hills, and it was beautiful.

Back to April Fool’s Day, some historians point to 1582 France when Pope Gregory XIII switched from a Julian calendar to the current Gregorian calendar. The previous Julian calendar celebrated the New Year for a whole week from March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation marking the visit of angel Gabriel to virgin Mary, to April 1. The new Gregorian calendar moved the New Year to January 1. Supposedly, news spread slowly of the switch, and folks who continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1st instead of January 1st were labeled as fools and ridiculed.

But that’s just 1 theory. There are at least 5 more.

Got Jokes

Somewhere between the 16th century and today, ridiculing fools caught on and became a “thing”. Now folks play jokes and pranks on each other, and it’s all in the name of fun.

I like to laugh. I like fun. But I always wondered why, as a child, I couldn’t really get into April Fool’s Day. When I look back on it, I think it has something to do with the day being about misleading people. I guess I never really understood that. LOL!

I got in the most trouble ever as a child if I dared not tell my parents the truth. Lying definitely was not good. Remember Exodus 20:16? “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” That was the real.

Got Pass

But I guess folks get a pass on April Fool’s Day?
I think I’m still gonna ask you to tell me the truth, no matter what day of the year it is. :=)
What do you think?

Something to ponder from the LaLa,
Naima
