An Easy How-to for Dried Orange Garlands
This was my first time to create Dried Orange Garlands to add to my Christmas decorations, but it won’t be my last. The smell is heavenly and I’m a longtime fan of bringing natural elements inside. This project was fun. I gathered my components, spent a little time, and voila! Lean in, and I’ll show you. Gather: 4-5 Oranges Burlap strips for bows Fishing wire or twine Greenery White lights *optional Cinnamon
#AlwaysAdventSRT
If ever we needed to celebrate the Light of the World coming into our darkness, it’s Christmas 2020! Right? What’s that? I’m having a hard time hearing you over the amen corner. I get it! I know people who decked their walls in October and double dog dared anyone to part their lips in judgement. But seriously, we may sense how sorely we need Christmas this
Why You Should Care About Big Tech Censorship and Media Bias Regardless of Your Party Affiliation
This letter is not addressed to the social revolutionaries behind much of our nation’s unrest. Yes, they're among us and their motivation isn't new. It can be found by any number of names throughout the history of civilization. Their goal is to concentrate power so they can rule unchallenged. They want us to be so fearful of X, Y, or Z that we surrender our personal

Welcome to THE STORY TABLE
Hey friends! Don’t be confused and don’t go anywhere, please. You’re in the right place! I’m in the midst of rebranding. Pretty soon you won’t see the words All Things Southern on my podcast title, (or at the website!) I just thought I’d leave them for a little while longer while we make the transition. So, why the name change? It’s simple really. While it’s hard

Shut Yo Mouth Shrimp Boil
Our sweet neighbor gifted us with some fresh Gulf shrimp yesterday, which means, the man and I did some good eating today! And, of course, I thought of y'all. I mean, I'm sure y'all know how to whip up a shrimp boil that will knock your socks off, right? That's what I thought, too. But, just in case, here are the steps that will take
Marking Us Safe
Hey y’all! It took a few days, but the beloved farmer and I have officially marked ourselves safe from Pops and Keggie Kamp 2020. That’s a joke, people. Kinda. In the interest of transparency, while Kamp was huge fun for all involved, it does require a herculean amount of energy. At least for the two more mature Kampers. The grands? Oh, please. Apart from that one
A Whole Lot of Fun and a Little Bit of Folly
Hey friends, let’s chat…Y'all are on my mind so much these days. I find myself wondering how y'all are doing, how your families are doing, whether y'all are sick with Covid or sick of Covid. I wonder if y'all are reeling from the news, limiting your consumption of the news, or making news. 2020 has left us all breathless, amen? I'll talk more about current
Color Us Accountable
I snapped this picture the other day of Beaux and Hank monitoring the backyard. I've tried to tell the boys that the fishermen aren't a threat to us but my suspicious canines aren't buying. Bless their overzealous hearts. Still, their diligence to stand guard is a great illustration of a scriptural truth I want us to look at today. Hebrews 12:15 reads, "Looking diligently lest any
