Words can't describe what this man has done for Jeff Thompson and myself. We came to this gentleman in late 2016 and through Jeffs out processing he was there. We are now in North Carolina and he is still in Colorado working to help us down this long uncertain road. I can not tell you how much we appreciate you because it would never be enough. You are a blessing to our family and I'm sure a blessing to all the soldiers and staff on Fort Carson. We thank you for your hard work and dedication through this process you are a wonderful ombudsman (bus man) lol 😂 as they say on Carson "Steadfast and Loyal!"            s/o to Henry Tyrone from the Spouse of Jeff Thompson

Thanks for stopping by.I started this page to provide tips and information in reference to insurance.You'll be surprised how life insurance can work for you in so many different ways1Life Insurance

We definitely need to go into our "prayer closet" to give thanks. ...not always asking for something, but to thank God for what he has done. I am learning to slow down & breathe and know that I don't have to always have a spotless house.It's ok to leave dishes in the sink. The last 6 wks have been a test and in the beginning I was "flunking" BAD. Today I am VERY grateful & thankful for the ability to be able to use both hands & legs even with mild pain...thinking about those that have no limbs to feel any pain. Recovery one day at a time

Jazmin Shields & family

Everyone wants to play the game of basketball and one by one kids are knocked out the race... I was told that only 1% of all basketball players from around the world are able to play at "the next level" so for 13 years ive strived to be that one percent.. The thing is.. It doesnt feel like my highschool chapter is truly ending.. In my mind I know i signed but for me it hasn't clicked.. I feel like... I should still be stressing and playing AAU like I have one more NCAA tournament to play.. God has been with me from the start and has blessed me with some of the most amazing people in my life and I couldnt be more thankful for everyone who supported me. Without Him none of this would be possible and He deserves all the glory. Im ready for what God has planned for me even if I dont always know where im going I know by faith that Hes turning me in the right direction. Next season at Ranger College you will see a brand new Jazmin Shields... Until then i'm silent. #RangerCollegeSignee #Blessed #CollegeBound

Naquana & son

Naquana Journigan-Richardson - VOCALIST
I come from a family of singers, ministers and musicians as God had a calling early on for my life to minister in song to His people.  Although it was predestined, I began this journey with God at the young age of 8 and I have been singing ever since,  always singing with my church's Youth & Adult Choir's. Because of this precious gift, I was given the blessed honor from my High School's administrator to sing The Star Spangled Banner before Football and Basketball games. Currently I serve as a member on my church's Praise and Worship Team as well as Director for our "Pastor's Project Choir".
I am a singing miracle for the Lord, in 1998 the doctor found a tumor in my throat, and we didn't think I would be able to sing again, but God said "NOT SO" as we know and believe that He has the final say.  Since then I promised the Lord that I would sing His praises and be a vessel that He can use to draw souls to Him.  

I became a family member of Delivered in 2002.  God has blessed us to be a strong family in the ministry.  God has blessed us to release our first single "TREE OF LIFE".  Our new CD "RECONCILED" is scheduled to be released August 11, 2012.

On August 25, 2007, God brought my husband Brian Richardson and I together as one.  We are what you would call the Richardson Bunch, we have 6 children, Dashawn, Lashanta', Javone, BJ, Trevon and Kimora.
