Daniel Wimberly said he’s glad he took a chance after noticing social media posts that rapper Torence “Boosie” Hatch had been seen in Shreveport. Wimberly and his wife, Shantina, were at a concert in Frisco, Texas, when they heard that the Louisiana rapper had been spotted. Not knowing whether he would respond, Daniel sent Boosie a message inviting him to attend service at Greater Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. “Daniel, my husband, always invites everyone to attend church with us. To us, it was all about the ministry,” Shantina said. That Sunday, Daniel was setting up when he spotted Boosie and his fiancée entering the church. “While I was playing drums, I was shocked because we are a small neighborhood church and here is this national recording artist who doesn’t even know me walking in to visit.” Wimberly said he revealed at the end of the sermon that he was the one who invited Boosie. Wimberly thanked Boosie for coming and invited him to prayer. “I told him, ‘God bless him.’ Boosie smiled and you can see he was overjoyed. Then our pastor called him up to the front and asked him if he would like to say anything and Mr. Hatch asked for prayer,” Wimberly recalled. He said will never forget the conversation he had with Boosie after church.

Last Friday (May 3), in a room stuffed full of education apparatchiks, concerned parents, alumni, and bitter frequent flyers a lesson in the Louisiana Recovery School Districts was taught. This course, which I would glibly title “futz around and find out”, delineated, in some glorious detail, where Caddo went wrong (the “futzing around” part) and what the state intends to do (the “finding out” part).
Lately, my thoughts have been run amuck with all things sports and some things (gasp!) other than sports. For instance...
No surprise on either front unfortunately. As the season drew to a close there were rumors swirling that no matter the final numbers, Wemby would not win the Defensive Player of the Year award and sure enough, Jazz center Rudy Gobert was once again named DPOY. Now, there are arguments for both, obviously, but I think it’s a better story for a player the NBA is clearly going to be pushing moving forward. Either way, the French get another DPOY award as Gobert has won his fourth.
