It's
been nearly 11 years since we exchanged our vows at Springfield Missionary Baptist Church on that beautiful Saturday, May 4th, 2002. A lot has happened ... I did mission work at Mission Way Baptist Church in Fremont, Calif., and Mable assisted me. Now, I am ministering at Royal House of Faith in Houston, Texas.
We honeymooned in Ft. Walton Beach/Destin, Florida and the Bay Area of The City .. yepp, San Francisco ... and then, a friendgirl named Christine hooked us up with tickets to JFK International in New York ... and spent a week in Bristol, Conn. Life was grand.
However, there were some trials. Mable got pregnant in November, but ended up in the hospital in early February 2003, the same time I had to interview at the Albuquerque Journal in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And our first year of marriage was no joke period. But ... despite the trials, I knew Jesus was in the midst, helping us. Aiding us. Comforting us. Within a few years, our family expanded!
In July of 2004, we lost our apartment to a meth fire in the apartment above us. It was a blessing we were able to get out. Oh, and another thing ... buy renter's insurance. It's worth it ... because you never know when something will happen. It was valuable in our time of crisis.
Our future? Well, I am preaching again at Royal House of Faith in Houston, Texas. Pastor Remi Odueke is our senior pastor. Click here to see video on my first sermon at Alief Baptist Church in Katy, Texas.
Currently, I work at the Houston Chronicle in Houston, Texas. I cover video games. I have a thriving YouTube channel here.
I have a small business, madskillz.com, which appeared in the Thursday, February 9th, 2006 edition of The New York Times!!! We sell used/refurbished MP3 players. Initially, we had plans for a clothing line, but we need to focus our efforts on the digital media aspect right now. It's been a dream come true ... it's received a lot of attention, especially after the New York Times article.
Now? The sky is the limit ...
Back during my days in the desert, I wrote a few articles for The Albuquerque Journal and The Albuquerque Tribune (RIP). Arguably my best column was a Point/Counterpoint column on ... what else ... marriage. Click here to read it. My homie, Phil Parker, makes some interesting points, and takes some sweet shots at me ... but he can't fade married folks!
Check out my columns at abqtrib.com and search for Willie Jefferson.
I also did some beta testing for Atari, who was so gracious to let me publish the story. You can read it here, and here. In the game, Test Drive Unlimited for the PS2, I am the president of Club D in the game. My NPC - nonplayable character is called Willie 'Maadskillz' Jefferson and he drives a sick navy blue Nissan R34 Skyline. He's not a pushover ... I have been racing jokers all over the world! My digital likeness, that is ...
I am also excited about many, many other things the Lord is doing in my life ...
I know this Web site and its completion has been on my heart for a while ... and if I update stuff, this will be where it's updated. But hey ... look for our book, 'God's Arranged Marriage' soon ... I know the Lord will open a door for us to minister to couples, especially in the area of sexual abuse (from the past, present) and how spouses can turn to Jesus for help and comfort. I have had visions about our ministry ... it's gonna go global too! Praise the Lord!
But most of all, our house will be serving Him fully.
Thanks for visiting and reading about me and my lovely wife, Mable Jackson-Jefferson, aka Mable Denise Jackson, and our children.
There is only one person who blessed me and made me realize His plan: Jesus Christ. He wants you to surrender so He can bless you beyond belief. My only regret is ... not believing Him when He told me Mable was my wife. But praise Him ... I will share this story and my wisdom with every listening hear ... that He saves and just wants you to surrender to Him and let Him lead and guide you. Doesn't matter if you are a liar, cheater, thief, homosexual, sexually promiscuous or a drug addict ... He wants to show you what love is all about.
Romans 10:9 states 'If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.' If you want a new life ... if you want to experience love ... real love, accept Him. He will change you. I should know. He changed me.. <--- Click 'me' to continue.
