The Book of Dad – Standing Out Against Negativity

Description
Ever notice people how some people never seem to fit in? It's difficult to categorize them less the obvious demographic they belong to, put them in a box or make them stay in their lane.  In most cases I've seen and know of (self included), this dilemma is because they are not supposed to fit in, fall in  and conform. Rather, they are meant to stand out.  And, not stand out in the cold, alone, ostracized or isolated. They are meant to use their Jehovah delivered talents to get behind, or out in front of a cause.  They are meant to pull together and orchestrate the activities of many with like interests, goals and objectives.  Today we talk with accomplished and renowned singer, songwriter, author, evangelist and motivational speaker Deborah "Debra" Hightower.  Debra uses her Jehovah delivered talents and influence to get behind the fight against the "oldest profession", prostitution and other problems plaguing  our society.  With the help of "Wellspring Living (wellspringliving.org/)", an organization whose mandate is to repair the lives of  young prostitutes, Debra talks up reform and support for an upcoming (October 2nd, 2014) event to address the problem.
