Dad was a minister,a brick layer and a 32nd degree mason. Mom,a housewife, teacher,in Alabama and Detroit Public School District. She was call to the ministry as an Evangelist. I have two sisters. At young ages the Gamble Sisters used their talent singing for the Lord. We moved to Florida and I accepted Christ as my Savior and was baptized at age 7. My father passed away due to a work related accident. Support from extended family helped us and we move to New Jersey for a year and then back to Florida. I served as musician at New Bethel Baptist Church in Panama City, FL until I went on to further my education at Kentucky State College. One and a half years later, I joined, my sister, Lillie in Detroit, Michigan. I have completed my BA Degree in Business and Vocational Education and my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership.

I Love to write, keep notes of sermons, workshops and go back and read them, read inspirational books, all kinds, listen to music play my flute, harmonica, write and produce plays, praise dance, flower gardener, and bake. I like to watch Food network, HGTV, l catch a good movie on TV, listen to gospel radio, enjoy sports, checking on my family member in and out of state, friends, my senior plus neighbors, my former students and sharing the Good New of Jesus through acts of kindness. Thank God for my parents who showed me the way that leads to life ever after; for it is GOD that has brought me through, for it is a Matter of Thought. You have to decide for yourself.ver menos
