Good News - November 2020

If I followed my childhood dreams I would be playing in the MLB. Of course, I would have been one of the shortest players in history. Robin Martin, Executive Director, Rebuilding Together Broward I come from a long line of attorneys. My grandfather who founded the law firm, Rogers, Morris & Ziegler, my dad who I got to practice with and two of my uncles who also gave me inspiration to pursue a career in law. I feel fortunate that I made a decision early on in life to pick a profession where I could help people and busi- nesses to attend to their needs or help solve their problems. It kept me focused in pursuing my education and has had great career satisfaction along the way. So other than an NFL quarterback, which I figured out early on in my athletic pursuits wasn’t going to happen, the law was my only calling. Romney C. Rogers, Managing Partner, Rogers, Morris & Ziegler LLP If I had followed my childhood dreams, I would have been a dentist. Unfortunately, I could not perform the tasks necessary to show my adeptness to that particular professional. So, instead of saving teeth, I’m saving souls! God is good. Dr. Rosby Glover , Executive Director, Mount Bethel Human Services Corp - Prevention Central My father was a Baptist pastor. When I was about eight or nine years old, a traveling evangelist came to our church. After the "mandatory" church supper, my dad asked me to show the guest speaker to the church (a short walk). As we were walking the evangelist said to me, "Are you the pastor here?" I, with great hubris answered, "not yet." Later I became pastor there and continued until I left to pursue my Ph.D. Samuel Lamerson , PhD, Distinguished Professor of Biblical Studies, Knox Theological Seminary To be housewife, mother and to make a difference in our world Sue Trombino, Founder, Women Impacting the Nation Well, when I was younger, I was a huge fan of the Sonny and Cher show. I dreamed of one day having a show of my own. I even created my own segments. I'd get all dressed up, grab my hairbrush, climb up my little step ladder and belt out, "I got you babe." I'm so thankful that the Lord had other intentions for my life. And that even though I had all these crazy hopes and dreams, His Hand brought me to where I am, in service to the King. Tewannah Aman, Executive Director, Broward County Right to Life I would have been a lawyer if I had followed my childhood dream. I may have also been a flight attendant. I love speaking up for others and traveling the world. Tina Rains , RN, Professional Coach, Consultant, Keynote Speaker I wanted to be an Egyptologist – a fascination since age 6 that has become a lifetime avocation. Dr. WarrenA.
