Tebowing, Kapernicking, and the Next Big Thing
Hello folks, let’s chat…With the Super Bowl just days away, I thought we'd kick off our weekly visit with a little football trivia. “Tebowing” is the act of celebrating by taking a knee in prayer, made famous by the on field celebrations of NFL quarterback Tim Tebow. But never you mind all that, Tebowing is so over. The cool kids are Kapernicking—making a muscle and kissing their
How to Deliver Bad News
I’d like to give a hearty shout-out on the All Things Southern porch to our senior population. Y’all rock in my book. Did you know the number of Americans who are continuing to work past the age of 75 has skyrocketed over the last twenty years? It’s true.

Today’s story should go a long way to explaining why it’s important to do your own legwork when you’re speaking, preaching, or as I like to say, “Just talking really hard.” A minister decided to visit a large church in a nearby city while he was on vacation. Before the service began he introduced himself to the preacher and explained that he was intrigued
