Motown Monday at ATS
Hey y'all! Busy day straight ahead but I wanted to share a thought from this morning's dock devotions. I've told y'all how much I enjoy taking secular music and swapping the lyrics for sacred ones, right? Well this morning I rocked to this Motown fav- http://m.last.fm/music/Jackie+Wilson/_/%28Your+Love+Keeps+Lifting+Me%29+Higher+and+Higher?fallback=1 Try singing it to Jesus and worship while you work.

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. Me, Shellie. You, Reading One), I give you my Silent Movie. I created it yesterday when I had to have, count 'em, SIXTY PLUS shots
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
A Recipe and a Love Story for Valentine’s Day
Hey y'all, with Valentine's Day approaching in the middle of the work week, I woke up this morning with a game plan. After getting a ton of Saturday to-dos out of the way, I got busy searching for something super chocolatey to make for my man! Here's the finished product: Here's the recipe: Chocolate Caramel Sweetheart Brownies 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder one cup butter 1 cup white sugar 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon
The All Things Southern Super Show — it’s almost here!
Hey, y'all! Sometimes I wonder how it is that I get involved in the Lucy Ricardo escapades that seem to be a regular part of my life. This would be one of those times
There once was a Pulpwood Queen…
There once was a Pulpwood Queen who held a booklovers' dream. Authors and readers converging as one to celebrate story and have big fun. There were lions and tigers and clowns, oh my! with books upon books piled to the sky. There's none other like it no event dare compare to the Pulpwood Party and the Ball of Big Hair. If time allowed I'd give you more verse though surely each line would get steadily
Me and Percy, (Sledge, that is)
I enjoyed an invigorating worship session in my back yard this morning that I’m sure gave my neighbors cause to lock their doors. Back story: I like to rework and redeem secular songs, offering them up to God with an entirely new twist on the intent of the one who penned them. I’ve sang “Jesus, Jesus, I get down on my knees for you” for
Richard Paul Evans visits ATS LIVE
Hey y'all, I'm having this author of the show tomorrow. Bless his heart, maybe you've heard of him. His name is Richard Paul Evans. He's only had all EIGHTEEN of his books become NYT's bestsellers, four made into movies, and millions sold worldwide. I figured it was the least I could do to give him a leg up, you know? I mean, someone needs to
Pulpwood Queen Bound!
Pink feather hat, boa, tiara, clown outfit, marketing material-- check,check, check, and oh mercy I'm sure I'm overlooking something! Yes, indeed, it's that time again. This weekend I'll return to the Pulpwood Queen's Girlfriend Weekend Greatest Show on Earth in Jefferson, TX to present my latest book, Sue Ellen's Girl Ain't Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy! A veteran of this affair by now, one might think I
