For eight years, Johnny Williams has worked as a janitor at the AT&T Center, near his East Side home. Folo Media Editor in Chief Patton Dodd talked with Williams recently about the series of “checkpoints” in his life — little encounters he says that are signs from God that tell him he’s on the right path. With the help of a ministry that helped repair his home, he’s found stability.
