Meaningful Conversation Can Be Tricky
One day an old man walked into the small town lawyer’s office and announced to the receptionist that he was there to get a divorce. After a short wait, he was escorted to the lawyer’s office where he repeated his mission. “I want to get one of them divorces.” “I see,” the lawyer said. “I’m sorry it’s come to that for you, but I believe I
Practicing Medicine without a Clue!
Hello folks, I hope your week has been a good one! Mine has been wonderfully challenging. As always, I've got a story for y'all, but first-- a little recap. I'm writing you from Houston where my man and I haven been on grandparent duty keeping the grand boys of Texas. Our daughter and her husband are out of the country on a mission trip. Here's a
The Disembodied Hand – A Halloween Story
So you like a spooky story, do you? Well, I’ve got just what the creepy doctor ordered. We’ll be reading straight from the fifth chapter of Daniel. Of course, I’m just dying to add some commentary here and there, but I’ll put my thoughts in italics to make double dog sure there’s no misunderstanding. Once upon a time in a land for away a royal named
Beware, the Incremental Fade…
I couldn’t tell you how I found the first article if my life depended on it. Those Internet rabbit chases can sneak up on a person. A belle can be looking up a recipe one minute and watching video of a water skiing squirrel the next. Don’t act like you haven’t done it. I may have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night. As

I’ll show you! “Shellie’s Southern Pecan Pie Cake” 4 large eggs 1 cup softened butter 2 cups brown sugar 1 cup all purpose
Buford and Lou Ann Party Down
I’ve always heard it said that opposites attract, and I believe it. For starters, I could offer you the evidence of my enduring love affair between me and my farmer. His quiet ways are a blessed counterpoint for my loud personality and his life-long habit of thinking things through has saved my jump-first-ask-questions later hide more times than a few. But, I’ve seen the principle
Uncle Stan Expands His Business
Hello folks, let’s chat… Good news for all of you Aunt Marleta fans. She and Uncle Stan were in our neck of the woods recently. I dropped by Mama and Papa’s to have coffee with the whole crew. It was as much fun as ever and, of course, I brought y’all back a story. The first thing I noticed was that Uncle Stan looked a lot
Who Wants to Be a Miracle With Me?
November is fast approaching and I've been trying to make a decision that concerns the All Things Southern community. I've prayed about it. I've asked God for wisdom with as much sincerity as I know how to muster. I thought I needed more answers to proceed. I've known the when and the why. The how, who, what and with whom were blanks. If I were going to do it again this
