Now that enough months have gone by, perhaps Weeks can move on with his life and ministry, such as it is.
As reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bishop Thomas W. Weeks pleaded guilty Tuesday to aggravated assault in the summertime attack on his estranged wife, national evangelist Juanita Bynum.
In Fulton County Superior Court before judge T. Jackson Bedford, Weeks admitted that he grabbed Bynum, threw her down and kicked her in the parking of the Renaissance Concourse Hotel, near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Aug. 21
Weeks immediately was sentenced to three years probation, 200 hours of non-church related community service and ordered to attend anger management counseling. If he successfully completes these conditions, the conviction will be expunged from his record.
The contrite pastor apologized to Bynum.
“I want to apologize to my wife for all actions you had to go through,” Weeks said. “I know it has been difficult. I appreciate you and I thank you.”
When asked by Bedford if she approved of the deal Weeks struck, Bynum said yes.
Still, Bedford scolded both ministers for their recent behavior as their marital troubles played out before the public.
“I understand if not hundreds of thousands, millions of people look to you for leadership, both moral and spiritual,” said Bedford to both Bynum and Weeks. “Going forward I would be mindful in your conduct in the future. Going through a divorce is a very difficult time. I know what it does to people.
“I’m very pleased this would was able to be worked out. Neither of you needed to be exposed to what would have happened in the courtroom. I wish you the very best,” Bedford said.
After the hearing Weeks and Bynum stood together outside the courthouse, expressing at least a degree of love.
He had asked for forgiveness and she accepted.
“My emotions got the best of me,” Weeks said of the Aug. 21 incident. “I take responsibility.”
Bynum said seeing her husband on Monday at a divorce deposition brought back old memories. She intervened on his behalf appealing to the court to be lenient on him.
“When I saw him it allowed me to reflect on the first time we got married,” she said. “No one tells you what to do with all of the love you feel for the person.”
District attorney Paul Howard said he was pleased the case could be resolved without going to trial. “He took responsibility,” Howard said. “We thought that was important.”
Weeks would not say whether the couple was getting back together.
“God is in control of all things, ” he said.
Weeks said he learned a lesson from this ordeal. He urged men facing similar conflicts with their spouses to “walk away, still walk away.”
He’s not a gospel artist, per se, but he is the son of gospel royalty.
EURWeb.com is reporting that Janel Bennett, ex-lover to R&B Producer, Mario Winans (son of Vicki Winans) is not receiving child support for their three year old son.
Further, Bennett claims she was evicted from her home in Miami because of the lack of child support. She told the New York Post she is living with friends on the South Side of Chicago, where she currently works as a cocktail waitress.
In 2005, the Miami Herald reported, “A DNA test shows a 99.99% probability that Mario Winans is the biological parent.” Documents filed in Miami-Dade, Florida court last January stated, “Mario Winans is obligated to pay Janel Bennett $4,500 per month due on the first of each month as child support.”
Bennett claims to have had to get on welfare and Medicaid in order to have the baby. She claims that after telling Mario she was pregnant, he disappeared from her life. Friends of Mario Winans confirmed to Page Six that his current girlfriend Joy and mother to his toddler daughter Sklyar, is known publicly as his “wife.” Janel says she lives in a 16-bedroom mansion and her son doesn’t have boots to wear in the winter.
She claims Winans has only seen his son once.
Bennett says she met Mario Winans in 1997 through a mutual friend, Sean “Diddy” Combs where Janel worked as Combs’ Sean Jean fashion consultant. She said Winans was sending child support up until last
year.
Mario Winans’ reps at Czar Entertainment and his lawyers had “no comment.”

Well, it’s kinda all over the news. Let’s hope our daughter can pull thru this. Alas, when you’re a public figure, a lot, if not all of your affairs tend to be made public.
Why do we expect public figures to have it together more than we do? Last I checked, they were people too. The IRS and havn’t been buddy buddy either. The difference is, nobody knows me so it won’t be on front page news.
We love ya, Yolanda. The morning show thing is cool, but when are you releasing another CD?
I know there are a lot of Baptists like me who may still struggle with this, but I thought if regular folks, some of which don’t even go to church can do this, then why can’t we?
Coincidentally, I’ll be in South Pasadena in just a couple of weeks…

Published on: 03/07/08 South Pasadena, Calif. — What the $%#? This community on the edge of Los Angeles has become a cuss-free zone.
So if you’re headed to South Pasadena this week, be sure to turn down the volume on that Snoop Dogg CD, and, if the little old lady from Pasadena cuts you off in traffic, don’t even think about flipping her the bird.
you could be shamed into better behavior by the unsettling glares of residents who take their reputation for civility seriously.
you could be shamed into better behavior by the unsettling glares of residents who take their reputation for civility seriously.”That’s one of the purposes of this,” Mayor Michael Cacciotti said of the proclamation designating the first week of March as No Cussing Week, passed by the City Council. “It provides us a reminder to be more civil, to elevate the level of discourse.”
The proclamation will be in effect for the first week of every March.
South Pasadena isn’t the first to try to rein in potty mouths. What’s different about the latest push to stop saying in public the words that Jane Fonda and Diane Keaton recently discovered we still can’t say on television is that it was proposed by a 14-year-old boy.
“My mom and dad always taught me good morals, good values, and not cussing was one of them,” said McKay Hatch, who founded South Pasadena High School’s No Cussing Club in June.

Shortly, after the new year began, I started going to the gym (regularly) and it sure feels great.
