Can't Please Them All

2007-12-03T12:02:00.001-08:00

You know, it is a known fact that you cannot make everyone happy. I have performed at dozens of churches and each time the audience has been different. Sometimes, I get the "I'll laught at anything" audience. I love this type of audience because they aren't afraid to pick fun at themselves or at society as a whole. Nothing is taboo. They are comfortable in their salvation knowing that laughing at "real" joke will not send them to hell.

Then, I get the "I can't believe she said that" audience. Many times, these are people in the church that believe they live in a sin-free world. They'll pout, turn their noses up, and be offended because I make a joke about being married to the Lord. It is not blasaphemous becasue I am more than comfortable telling the joke and knowing I got a one way ticket to Heaven. But no matter the audience, I always give it my all and hopefully help someone forget about their worries and laugh. Let's be honest, everything I say is usually everything you're thinking. So, aren't you glad I'm your voice!

Happy Turkey Day!

2007-11-26T15:16:00.001-08:00

I hope everyone had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Tell me what things you were thankful for this year...

For me, I was thankful that I still had my hips and at my age, I still can do the dip!
I was also thankful that Britney Spears didn't show her kootie kat to the world-AGAIN and that Georgia finally got some rain! Thank ya Jesus!

If you have not already done so, check out the Pilot Episode of my new show Mama Peavy INCITE on www.blip.tv. We are currently in production for Season 1.

Also, get ready for the Mama Peavy and Friends: Healing Through Laughter Tour starting in Spring 2008. I am currently looking for sponsors so if you are interested, please contact me.

Kanye West in Grief

2007-11-13T07:51:00.000-08:00

Kanye West is grieving over the unexpected death of his mother, Donda West. It is being said that she had complications during surgery and died in the emergency room. Please keep Kanye West and his family in prayer as they survive through this troubling time. I've never heard one ill thing about Ms. West although her son is a horse of a different color. But Mama Peavy is not one to kick someone when they're down. Be blessed Kanye and be strong!

Paula White, Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer and others under Investigation

2007-11-07T10:00:00.000-08:00

OK folks, some high falootin Senator by the name of Grassley is investigating the financial aspects of several prominent ministries here in the United States. Among the ministries are World Changers, New Birth, Without Walls Church, Benny Hinn Ministries, Joyce Meyers, and Kenneth Copeland. The Senator claims how can these folks be so rich while running a non-profit. OK, first, they make other money outside of the church and second, God's children are supposed to be rich. Some may be more rich than others but as long as they are changing lives and living for God, who cares. God doesn't want his people to just be scraping by.

There are hundreds more ministers that make as much if not more than these preachers. What about them? Why are these the targets? Is it because they chose to spend their money on what they wanted instead of what was acceptable. Look, I ain't one to talk but Mr. Senator get a life and spend your efforts on more important things like healthcare, drug abuse, and education.

Well, for a twist on popular news stories be sure to tune it to my new show the Mama Peavy and Tabernacle of Sorrow Show airing November 18, 2007 at 6PM on Mama Peavy TV.

A "DOG" Gone Shame

2007-11-06T13:55:00.001-08:00

Sugars, it's a doggone shame what that bounty hunter fella said to his son. If you haven't heard, yep, Dog the Bounty Hunger was caught red handed using the N word and making other derogatory remarks about his son's black girlfrien. Now, I am not one to talk, but that man need to be kicked in the rear. Here he has this massive following of black and white folks mind you and he has some unresolved racial issues. And they say racism doesn't exist anymore. I want to know what planet they live on. Because Earth of still full of racist ignorant superficial fake folks. But I blame the network. There ain't no way that this guy has cameras following him 24/7 and he hasn't let the N word slip. The network probably just covered it up or edited it out. They knew he was a rascist when they gave him his own show. Shoot, they probably gave him his own show because he is a racist. And decent folks can't get a break in the entertainment industry but others making millions being shady and wrong. If the network had no clue, then he is one heck of a liar. His ex-wife and stepdaughter are now speaking out about him and his racist ways. There is no way you can be that racist and not let it show publicly. I guess that is why they call it acting.

And who let Don Imus back on a show. Yep, they figured, let's let all the blacks calm down a little, you know, let it blow over, and then we'll put you back on the air. I say "boycott, don't give him no spot." I am sure his simple suspension didn't phase him any. He was already a millionaire.

Somebody give me a show...I'm no racist but I can be if you want me to.

Be sure to check out my new show. It will finally air November 18, 2007 on Mama Peavy TV. More details will follow next week.

The Show is Coming...

2007-11-02T06:37:00.000-07:00

OK, my new show, Mama Peavy and Tabernacle of Sorrow, has been delayed for production reasons but it is coming. We are producing the first episode this weekend. And I am so excited. The show will be setup like a talk show but I'm your one and only guest each week. It's going to fun, funny, and everything Mama Peavy loves. So, be sure to catch the first episode on my new website that will be available next Sunday. Thanks to everyone for their continued support and remembers, "Sugars, I tell you the truth."

Deaths and Funerals

2007-10-29T07:21:00.000-07:00

Grab your tissues, this post promises to be a tear jerker.

There seems to be a string of deaths in my family the last few years. It seems one family after another are dying. Why are so many people dying? With the way the world is going, there seems to be a warning from God telling people to get right. And doggone, I'm gonna do it. It is time to start living the good life as Kanye says. But not the way he says. Living a good life is ensuring that you are loving God and loving others. This is truly how to live the good life. I ask today, "Will you live the good life?" Live it now, so that you'll have a awesome life later.

Keep yourself and others in prayer.

Second Edition of Mama Peavy Book

2007-10-22T12:41:00.000-07:00

I am so excited to announce that I will be releasing a second edition of my highly acclaimed book Mama Peavy says, "Women, It's OK to Marry an Ugly Man." The new book will feature three more reasons why it's OK plus more chapters on finding and keeping a man. And it still has all the ha-ha that you know I bring. The publishers plan to release this new book in the summer of 2008. No worries, if you have a first edition, you're lucky since you'll receive great benefits for being a first edition holder.

If you haven't bought it already, go buy the first edition of Mama Peavy says...

Also, my show Mama Peavy and the Tabernacle of Sorrow is currently in production. The first episode will air October 28, 2007. We pushed the date from October 7 to the 28 due to scheduling conflicts and changes. It still will be juicy and will bring the house down. Sugars, I tell you the truth, I don't cut no corners. I will also unveil my new website. It will be all about me. Be sure to check it out at www.mamapeavy.com.

November 13th is the big day for my CD release. Yep, I have finally gone digital. My new CD is titled "nothing as of yet". The cover and title will be released October 28, 2007 on the new website. You can pre-order them on my website beginning October 28, 2007.

Until next time...

Been a Minute

2007-10-18T06:02:00.000-07:00

Wow! It's been a minute. Sugars, I tell yall the truth, the devil tried to deter me. He pulled out all the stops but I'm back and God is my witness, I am better than ever. Yep, the devil ain't got no room in my life.

Anyhow, I just wanted to update you all on what is happening. Internet show, Mama Peavy and The Tabernacle of Sorrow Show, has been pushed back until November. I am also planning to tour Mama Peavy and Friends starting in Spring 2008 so look out for it. I have several upcoming performances this month. One is at World Changers Church International, you know, the one with Minister/Pastor Creflo Dollar. It's a single's ministry event at the church and I am taking them a mighty word.

I have pushed several book signings back until later this year. And I will have another tour beginning summer of next year. So, I hope to meet some of you then if not earlier.

In my next post, I'll give more details on the Internet Show.

Weekend Exhaustion

2007-09-24T20:47:00.000-07:00

Hey yall, I just got back from a long exhausting weekend. Yep, me and the gang travelled to Baltimore, Maryland to perform at a church and then to Columbia, SC to do a book signing at Waldenbooks. We also did a little press which in my opinion did not create as much buzz as I had hoped for. But hey, I was on TV. Can't argue with that? But sugars, I tell yall the truth...I am still recovering from this weekend so I'll write again after I have rested. Until then...

WOW Wednesday!

2007-09-19T07:58:00.000-07:00

It' WOW Wednesdays! Today, I want to report on some interesting topics that you can only say "WOW!" about.

OK, in Britney Spears news...if she'd married a man a little uglier then she wouldn't be having these post-divorce woes! But now she's free to join my church! I don't think Britney life is getting any worse, I just think that too many are focused on it and it is getting magnified. She just needs a tanning bed and a mocha latte and she'll be OK.

OJ Simpson is really an alien. Who else would steal his own stuff instead of calling cops? This man amazes me all the time. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse he goes out and says, I'm an old school idiot and I really want to go to jail.

Ugly is just plain ugly!

2007-09-17T07:50:00.000-07:00

I've been getting a lot of flack from people saying "it's mean to call someone ugly" or "God created everything and everything is beautiful." They act as if the word "ugly" should be stricken from the English language. OK, would you prefer I say "feo" that's ugly in Spanish or do you want me to say "unattractive" that's a synonym for ugly. No matter how I say it, it is still plain ugly. I am not calling any specific person out! I am making a general statement. It's a little humor. And it's not offensive unless you attach the statement to someone. So, all you people that think I'm being offensive, well, so be it. I'm offensive. Call me what you want! But that's your opinion. And if you want to get biblical on me, then let's look at a verse from the Bible (NIV):

Judges 15:2"I was so sure you thoroughly hated her," he said, "that I gave her to your friend. Isn't her younger sister more attractive? Take her instead." (Here a man is calling a woman less attractive or he's saying that the older sister is uglier than the younger sister--no matter how you slice it, ugly, less attractive, not as pretty--it's still ugly in my dictionary)

Ugly is not a disease, although for some it may be, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder thus someone or something is only ugly if you think it. So either you know someone you think is ugly or you are ugly. Whatever it is, laugh a little and stop getting your panties in a bunch!

That's all I have to say on the matter. Be sure to buy my book Mama Peavy says, "Women, It's OK to Marry an Ugly Man." It lists five reasons why marrying ugly is actually marrying up!

15-minutes of Fame

2007-09-14T11:13:00.000-07:00

We have all heard of having 15-minutes fo fame. And honestly, who doesn't want to be famous is only for 15-minutes. Well, sugars, I tell yall the truth, I am about to get mine. To promote my new book, "Mama Peavy says..." I am doing a 12-weekend tour along the east coast/gulf coast. I have lined up over 18 book signings. I plan to promote the book signings by doing radio interviews, newspaper interviews, TV interview on news stations, and short performances at private venues. This is an exciting time for me. Finally, the world can hear my message and just maybe, I can find a husband.

Anyhow, I'll be traveling to Columbia, SC and Baltimore, MD next weekend. I have a guest spot on one of the local news channels and I have several radio interviews setup throughout the week.

15-minutes...shoot...I'm gonna milk it for all it's worth and try to get 45-minutes of fame. I want to pose a question. If you could become famous, what would it be for?

Mama Peavy Goes to New York

2007-09-07T09:41:00.000-07:00

Ok, not really New York but darn close. Yeah folks, I'll be in Baltimore in two weeks at Concord Baptist Church. I hear they are having an anniversary and I was asked to show my face in the place that night. I've only passed through Baltimore during my many trips to New York so this will be a new experience for me. I wonder how those people up there act. I know they better watch out because I'm coming to save souls and get some new recruits for my church. There are too many women leaving my church, not because they want to, but because I put them out. They secretly dating and getting married and not telling me. So, I had to put them out. I want them to get married but they want to continue to be members of my church. Nope, can't happen, won't happen, not gonna happen. I got to cater to those less fortunate souls...the ones that can't find a man if one walked up to them and kissed them dead in the mouth. If you are having trouble finding a man, then join my church. We meet online once or twice a month. We've had our doors closed for a while due to renovaton. But our next service will be September 28, 2007. Be sure to be there!

Mama Peavy Goes to Birmingham

2007-09-02T18:16:00.000-07:00

I just got back from Birmingham, Alabama. I performed at Walking on Water Christian Church during their Single's Hallelujah Happy Hour. To say the least, I was happy alright. There was no liquor but I made do. The audience was great and the women really needed my word. So, I gave it to them, stiff, straight, with no ice. I really love going to events where people are not afraid to laugh. Today, people are so uppity and want you to censor everything. But I ain't censoring nothing. If you don't like what I have to say, then cover your ears. Don't you agree?!

I Speak!

2007-08-15T21:32:00.000-07:00

Hey yall,
I just wanted to mention that I am officially a motivational speaker. Well, not exactly motivational but close enough. I recently found a site for performers that help them get bookings. I was doing it the hard way. Checking announcement sites or whatever to help me get more gigs. Well, enought with that. Now, people who need me come to me. This is such a relief. Now, I can refocus my efforts back on finding a husband. I am back on the prowl ladies so move over...there's a new Mama in town!

Family Reunion Weekend

2007-08-13T07:16:00.000-07:00

Hey there Lads & Gents,
I was stuck in a black suitcase in a closet this past weekend while Mary R. Butler enjoyed a family reunion in Butts County, Georgia. Who is Mary, you ask? Well, she is the one that created my character and is the voice of Mama Peavy. She'll drop in from time to time to offer her words of wisdom or whatever while I take a break.

Anyhow, I got the full scoop on the family reunion even though I was not invited. First, I heard the weather was hotter than a jalapeno~koochie! That means, really hot. Everyone gathered at Billy's house tucked in the woods. No shade was in sight and no one was allowed in the house. Wretched, I say. Glad I didn't go. And this year over 100 more folks attended than last year and I suspect that most were not part of the family. Darn reunion crashers! The festivities began around 3PM but the DJ didn't show until 5PM and the food didn't get served until 7PM. I hear that people were hot about that...so they must have been blazing hot given the 100 degree-plus weather. One positive is that no one fought...thank heavens! Even though I am sure one or two people want to clock the drunk uncle and overly drunk cousin.

Things started to get better once the sun set and bellies got full. The infamous talent show began with Mary and her dauther Danielle doing a rendition of the 90s hit "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepper. The talent show included renditions of Ray Charles' "Night Time," Tina Turner's "Proud Mary," and The Staple Sisters' "I'll take you there." All in all, it was a family reunion to remember. Now, I hope next year, I'll be there in person.

Tell me about your family reunion experiences.

Ugly Celebrity Husbands

2007-08-10T07:37:00.000-07:00

Celebrity marriages are a dime a dozen considering that the divorce rate among celebrities far exceeds the national average of about 49%. So, why do some celebrity marriages work while others do not? The answer lies in the type of men that the women choose to date and marry. She notes that of the many failed celebrity marriages, one common attribute is present in the relationship--a handsome "pretty boy" husband. Consider Halle Berry's four year marriage to Eric Benet and the marriage of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, which also only lasted four years. Perhaps, the prettiest of the pretty boys is Brad Pitt and his notable marriage to Jennifer Anniston which went caput after five endearing years. All of these marriages were held in the highest regard, however, the women did not follow my cardinal rule and that is to marry an ugly man.

In my new book titled "Mama Peavy says, 'Women, It's OK to Marry an Ugly Man,'" I give five hilarious reasons why a woman will greatly benefit from marrying a man that is not nicknamed "pretty boy." I encourage women to have an open mind and to give men that are hard on the eyes a fair chance. I truly believe that women that marry ugly men will have longer more satisfying relationships. If you're a woman and you think this is a hard pill to swallow, then take a look at several celebrity couples that have stood the test of time. Felicity Huffman, actress on Desperate Housewives, has been married to William H. Macy for over 10 years and they are still madly in love. Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have over 25 years of togetherness. Bernie Mac and his wife, Rhonda McCullough have been going strong for over 30 years. These celebrity husbands may not embody the term "Prince Charming" but they are princes to their wives in every sense of the word.

Introducing Mama Peavy...

2007-08-09T18:13:00.000-07:00

Sugars, I tell yall the truth, this here is Mama Peavy but not I am called Pastor Mama Peavy since I started my new church for single women only called The Tabernacle of Sorrow. The mission of the church is to get as many women married off as soon as possible.

If you are married or got a boyfriend, you are not invited.

Check out my homepage at www.mamapeavy.com and let me know what you think.

I'll try to post something everyday.
