A thank you note from the bottom of my heart!
Hey folks, I need a visit with my friends. For those of you who aren't subscribed to the All Things Southern weekly that I send from my website (and if you aren't, I wish you would!), and to those who may not follow me on twitter and aren't my friends on Facebook, I'm hoping this one update will get to everyone in our "tribe" here and maybe explain
My Silent Movie Career Launches
Okay, in case y'all haven't been on my Facebook wall today, and because I do like to share with ALL my tribe, (That's what they tell me y'all are, btw. If you read my words, you are part of my tribe.

The Caption Game Returns
One of my longtime readers sent in this picture a couple of days ago. Jim from Nebraska told me that the picture was taken at snack time. He had told the girls (that's Lucy to your right and Asher to the left) to "Suck in your stomachs and look good.” He added that it dawned on him later where the phrase came from and so he had

Rob Hill from House of Hope, Tomorrow on ATS LIVE!
Every so often, my work here at All Things Southern affords me the opportunity to be the tiniest part of something so wonderful, the chance to interact with someone who epitomizes such faith, hope, and love, that it leaves me shaking my head and marveling at the privilege. Tomorrow will be such a day on ATS LIVE. What happened in the life of this average, happily married young couple seen
What do you want out of 2012?
I've been writing this post in my head for some time. For the record, it was much easier up there. Now that I have keys under my fingers, I'm discovering that I can't stop hitting the delete button.
