Trouble in Texas? I report, You Decide
Perhaps you've seen images of Coach Les Miles "holding" his frenzied caged Tigers in the tunnel before a big game. It looks like this. He waits as long as possible before he "releases" them on the opposition. What you may not know is that there is another coach in Houston, TX who is tasked with restraining a similar group of frenzied athletes. While they are playing a different sport, you can clearly see from the following picture
American Author Returns to ATS LIVE, Monday Oct. 14th!
It's back! Hey y'all, join me this Monday evening for another fun evening on ATS LIVE as we welcome back AMERICAN AUTHOR! It's sure to be a great night on the porch. I can't believe it's been a full year since I premiered a reality segment called AMERICAN AUTHOR, but this is precisely the case, and it's past time for another round. The premise of AMERICAN AUTHOR is simple. A number of authors
Monday on ATS LIVE: A Better December (Starts in October)
It's going to look a lot like Christmas on ATS LIVE tomorrow afternoon. WHAT? You, too, Shellie? Calm down, y'all. This is not a store putting up Christmas decorations alongside the school supplies sort of thing. Far from it. Tomorrow's show is about relieving the pressure of Christmas before it can even begin to build. It's about going into the holidays with an entirely new perspective, brought to us in
Leaving on a Jet Plane…
Hey y'all! I write to you with mixed emotions from a hotel room in Loveland, CO. I’ve been here all week as the guest of Resurrection Fellowship, where I’ve been teaching my book Heart Wide Open for the last three evenings. Rez (as they are more informally known), has been recording these sessions to produce a DVD of the event. Let it be known that I am officially in
Canned Meat, Radio, Travel Plans, and Rotten Eggs– this post has it all.
Hey y'all! This is a just a stream of consciousness/touching base/housekeeping type of post since I haven't been to the blog in weeks. Mind you, I'm still hosting ATS LIVE each Monday evening on Talk540 and producing new website and radio segments for my affiliates week in and week out, so I do hope all of you fine blog readers have found those All Things Southern efforts. I'd hate
The Rest of Mercy’s Story
I knew I would have to tell y’all. I thought I’d waited long enough that I might be able to do it without crying. I was wrong. Again. Last Sunday I flew home from Georgia and landed in Monroe, LA. My first stop on the drive home from the airport was Highway 2. I needed to see my man in the worst way and that meant
Oughta Be Shamed to the Knees
We have a saying in the South, “He oughta be shamed to his knees.” The observation is made of someone who has made choices that seem to have embarrassed everyone but the one making them. Generally, there’s a widely agreed upon and unspoken progression of thought tacked on the end: He oughta be shamed to be his knees— but he’s not. I thought about that saying earlier when
Have Mercy, Won’t You Stay?
By the time I finished praying, it was later than usual. I hated the idea of missing my morning kayak ride on Lake Providence, but it seemed like the smart thing to do. As much as I love starting the day on the water, the sun was climbing higher in the sky and my mind was already making a list of everything that needed to

ATS LIVE will be swangin’ in just a few with special guest Beth K. Vogt
Hey y'all! Sliding into the station right under the wire. You're right. You can file that under "What else is new, Shellie?" Hope you're making plans to join me on air for another laid back episode of the South's favorite radio show. The show that pleases your mama, lowers your blood pressure, and makes your kids sit up and act pretty. ATS LIVE will be kicking off
