POWER: What is World Wide Investigations?Mr. Fitzgerald: We are a private detective and security company certified by the state of Maryland.

POWER: How long have you been in business?Mr. Fitzgerald: We will be celebrating our sixth year in 2012.

POWER: What are some of the benefits of using your company as opposed to going to private investigator?Mr. Fitzgerald: Some of the services we provide are 25% cheaper than our competitors. We are quick and have a mobile service that can come to you.

POWER: Who do you recommend this service to?Mr. Fitzgerald: We provide services for anyone who may need us such as doctors, lawyers, elder care, day care etc. We also provide services for churches and businesses and anyone who comes in contact with children. We are available for personal use as well.

POWER: Why not just Google or do a computer search on someone?Mr. Fitzgerald: A computer search is not as detailed or complete.

POWER: Could the information from your investigations be admissible in a court of law?Mr. Fitzgerald: This is confidential information and depending upon the circumstances, it may be used in court, if necessary.

POWER: How long is the process for a background check?Mr. Fitzgerald: It all depends on the State or F.B.I., But normally 7-10 business days, depending on the origin of the person being investigated.

POWER: What is the drive behind your business?Mr. Fitzgerald: The drive behind this business is to give back to the community and help the unfortunate as well.

POWER: Why would I want to come to you?Mr. Fitzgerald: We provide a professional service that is high quality at a minimum cost. POWER: What is the key to your success?Mr. Fitzgerald: My desire to put God first and allowing him to guide me. I know this is his business, and I am using his provision to help anyone who is in need of this service

POWER: Why are you so passionate about Investigation?Mr. Fitzgerald: This has been a childhood dream which has come to reality.

Mr. Fitzgerald is a proud member ofThe Empowerment Temple and is currently the Security Consultant for the Baltimore Chapter of the NAACP headed by Mrs. Tessa Hill-Alston. World Wide Investigations LLC can be found on the web @www.worldwideinvestigationsllc.com

Think On These ThingsBy Reverend Juanita G. Wingo

Live in the ValleyLet us make here three tabernacles. ~Matthew 17:4

Even Jesus did not stay on the mountain. He left to come back to every day, ordinary living. There were ordinary people in need, ordinary tasks to perform, ordinary things to do, and ordinary duties to take care of over and over and over again.

Every time we have an exciting, extraordinary spiritual experience we want it repeated again and again. We want to relive it, feel it, and talk about it. We want to stay in it. We forget that God is the God of the day-to-day as well as the mountain top.

We want to shout again, see the vision again, and be touched again. Every mountain experience creates a desire to stay, to linger, never to leave. Our usefulness lies in what happens to us on the mountain: what we see on the mountain, hear on the mountain, learn on the mountain, but we can not be useful if we make our abode there.

We must bring it down.

The mundane can never compare to the spectacular. God will let us experience His transforming glory, but He does not intend for us to make our lives in it.

We are to bring the change He makes in us to the needs of the people he changed us to meet.

Embrace the ordinary routine aspects of your life. Don’t wish them away. Every moment can not be filled with excitement, but you can make sure everyone you meet touches the mountain in you.

When you come down from the mountain – when you come out of service, out of prayer, away from the revelation and the conversations of the righteous – when you come back, don’t look for more of the spectacular. Rather, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

When you come back, go to the market, change a diaper, do your job, teach a class, spend time with your family. Then when the sick and the possessed and the lame come before you, release your faith and help them.

Don’t seek to make your abode in the extraordinary. Live in the ordinary every day. You can’t long for the mountain and be fully present in the valley.
