The Spotlight Haiku
Its getting harder and harder to decide who gets the haiku every week. Everyone will get one eventually, but in what order? Let’s see… let’s give our salute to a Friend of the Deuce this week to… Ty Coffey.
Ty owns Samford U
with a cell phone, and, one day
He will own you too


If I could be serious for a moment…
This I the one serious paragraph in all of The Deuce Weekly, and I want to use it to pass along any major prayer requests or to make any comments that I feel God wants me to make. If you have anything you feel like you want to share, please let me know. This week, I just want to simply remind you that if you are planning on going to Seattle with Sybil Johnson’s group, you need to get your money in ASAP.
