I’m Having Withdrawals
It's done. I've packed my and Phil's lunches and I'm headed to the field (laptop in tow) to visit with my hard-working husband. Today's experiment will be to see if I can write on the combine. No, I won't be driving. The darling man will be at the controls. Harvest is always a long hard season around here. Eight hour workdays are unheard of on the farm! This translates
Nat’l Kiss and Makeup Day (or settling for a forced peace)
In observance of Nat'l Kiss and Makeup Day, I dedicate this post to my fine Southern Mama who believed a forced peace was better than none at all. If my sisters and I fought, and oh did we fight, Mama would make us sit under the dining room table with our arms around each other's shoulders until we could get along. As I may have mentioned in
Lost in a Peanuts Cartoon Strip
Do y'all remember this post: http://shellierushingtomlinson.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/do-i-look-like-charlie-brown/ where I asked if I looked like Charlie Brown? Well, the madness continues. I'm beginning to think I'm lost in a Peanuts cartoon strip. If you're a regular around the ATS porch, you know that one of my daily duties is to play tennis with Dixie Belle, AKA the Squirrel Patrol Czar. I have long since given up merely throwing her ball. I

What do you see in this picture?
I have a piece of artwork sitting on a bookshelf here in the family room that has become quite the conversation piece. I purchased it simply because I liked what I "saw". It was only after I got it home and my husband mentioned what he saw when he looked at it that I began to realize how thought provoking it really is-- and I'm wondering if it
Son Bathing on the Dock
Hey y'all, I wish every last one of you could have been with me on my dock this morning! Worship was sooooooo sweet that I gave in to the strongest need to go face down-- as in, face to dock in gratitude. I do believe Dixie Belle thought I had finally lost what was left of my mind. I heard her creep closer from her resting spot and when
Guys– Brian Goins will talk about “Playing Hurt” today on ATS LIVE!
Hey Y'all, I'm at the studio getting ready for today's show. Hope you're planning on tuning in. After hearing ONE too many story about people WAKING UP right before they're buried, I'm going to give you my top three ways to make sure I've kicked the can before you start shoveling the dirt my way. :) Also, I have a great guest lined up for you.

Got to keep it moving —
Taking time/making time to ride the combine with my man. This shot is from inside the cab. We're unloading on the go, meaning that we're transferring corn from combine to grain cart while continuing to move down the field cutting more. During harvest, every moment counts!
Meet Tricia Goyer and win a copy of Sue Ellen’s Girl Ain’t Fat, She just Weighs Heavy– today on ATS LIVE!
Hey y'all, I'm peddling hard this morning to recover from the weekend trip to Houston (simply MUST finger chat that with y'all soon) and lay radio tracks, but I wanted to give y'all a sneak peak of the show this evening. I do hope to "see" everyone on air later this evening. My special guest on ATS LIVE today is author/speaker Tricia Goyer. Tricia is a wife and mother
