Wynona Rogers is a name that most people who know it would associate with integrity and insurance. Thirty-one years in the insurance business and a number of awards couldn't prepare her for the events that unfolded in 2007. Now, she uses her unique storytelling skills in Riches to Rags: One Woman's Story of Betrayal and Redemption, the true-life story of her experience with a certain Baptist missionary and bookkeeper. Wynona grew up in the Baptist church, where she was fortified by God's teachings, especially the Ten Commandments. Those teachings would be tested when a rogue missionary devastated her life. Wynona takes you through the harrowing events she experienced firsthand. The story has mystery and a bit of humor but mostly inspiration. She puts you there with her as she recounts the events that spanned the globe from Istanbul, Turkey, to the smallest island in Hawaii. Wynona Rogers shares her story so that the horrible things that happened to her may never happen to you. Truly a riches-to-rags story you won't soon forget.
My name is Randy Johnson. I was born in 1952 to Ann and Jerry Johnson in Wilson, NC, and grew up in a simple country family. When I was old enough, I worked on my grandparents' farm to earn money for school clothes. My double first cousin, Don Pittman, and I were the same age and grew up more like brothers. (Our parents were siblings on both sides.) Don learned to play guitar at the age of 10 and taught me as well. Along with another cousin, we formed a group called The Tobacco Trail Trio, marking the beginning of our music journey.
We played at various places until the harvesting season ended, and then we returned home. Sadly, Don passed away, but I kept playing and eventually formed a band in my late teens called Randy Johnson and the Young Countrymen. We even recorded an album in the 70s and were contestants on the Nashville Network's show You Can Be a Star.
The years have gone by, and now in my 70s, I'm happily married to the love of my life, Linda. We have two wonderful children, Jennifer and Jamie, and two granddaughters who light up our lives. While I mostly sing in church these days, the memories of those early music days still hold a special place in my heart. I hope this book allows others to experience those moments too.

Dr. William Rocky Brown, 3rd's parents and grandparents, raised him. His parents or grandparents, like many, had roots in the South. Now, along with that Southern culture and African-American Ethnicity, came the ability to take everyday activities or things of nature and turn them into wise sayings. My mother was from Greenville, North Carolina, and my grandmother, who raised me, was from Mobile, Alabama. They both had old sayings from 'Down Home' that took me a while to understand what they were saying. After talking to others, I realized I wasn't the only one with this beautiful experience growing up, so I compiled these 1000 sayings.
The wise sayings in this book are not just words on a page, but pearls of wisdom to be cherished and passed down from generation to generation. They connect us to our past, and while they may take time for the present and future generations to fully grasp, they are a part of our shared heritage. This book is not just a collection of sayings, but a tool to create lasting family fun and memories. It can be used as an intergenerational family game, sparking conversations and laughter that will echo through the years.
I hope that they will bring you fond memories and laughter and you will share them with your children and grandchildren. This book is dedicated to my mother, Gwendolyn Regina Carraway Brown, and my grandmothers: Ethel-Mae Knight Brown (Mother-dear, the one who inspired this book), Halease Moore Wooten-Reid and my great-grandmothers Willie-Mae Knight and Carrie Skipper. My grands are the women on the cover and that's me at 2 months old. (By the way, that's a design on the chair and not a ribbon in my hair. lol) Special thanks to my friend Ellen Graham, my Bethany Baptist Church members, my Facebook friends, and the contributions I found that were posted on the internet by others who also enjoy these sayings. Enjoy my friends.
