Online calendar keeps families in Cozi harmony
I use my smartphone, synched up to Google Calendar, to keep up with my appointments and meetings. But I'm just one person, living by myself. In today's world, families have additional challenges as they try to coordinate with each other's schedules...
Small bowl carries a big message
Many years ago as I sorted through the collection of items my bachelor brought into our marriage, I discovered a small china bowl, chipped on the rim and faded by years, a product which came free in boxes of laundry soap decades ago. "What's this?" I asked, by now expertly flipping items into trash bags when Tom's back was turned...
Make love your first priority
Where does love fit into your list of priorities? Jesus said," A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you." It seems to me that Jesus is saying love is the main thing on which we should concentrate. The apostle Paul states that "faith", hope, love abide ... but the greatest of these is love."...
Cold winter days were fun, but this year's great
People like to talk about the weather. I was getting the oil changed in my car the other day and one of the men working at the shop commented on the mild winter weather we have been having. He said that we were likely to have a lot of bugs this year because it hasn't been real cold yet... |

(02/05/12)
They say that every dog has his day. For Joey, that day came in December2010 when, against all odds, he was adopted from the Bedford County Animal Shelter. Joey, a yellow lab, was brought in to the shelter as a stray. Looking back, that might have been a godsend in itself... 
Stylin' ...with a little help
(02/05/12)
An agent for Shelter Insurance, Maleah Qualls is -- by nature of occupation -- a busy woman. How she keeps it all together in the springtime is a mystery, though. In the past two springs, Qualls has selflessly devoted a large chunk of her already demanding schedule to help young ladies enjoy one of the shining moments of their teenage years -- prom... 
Happy past, hopeful future for Southside principal
(01/29/12)
A sign sitting prominently on the desk of Reita Vaughn, principal at Southside Elementary School, simply says, "No Whining!" She says it's there not only for students but for teachers and parents as well. The job is a dream come true for Reita, one that she looks forward to doing every day... 
The bowl I delight in
(01/22/12)
The Latin word "Fruor" means "I delight in" and is the source of our word "fruit." I have found myself, as many others with me, missing this delicious part of our diet. Whole or sliced these nutritious and colorful harvests make a wonderful sunny after noon snack... 
Reaching for a star: Kacey Smith hopes to become next country sensation
(01/22/12)
There's a small buzz brewing in music circles in Nashville. A young singer and songwriter has been in development for most of the past year, and she's getting ready to break loose in 2012. The industry insiders who have heard her sing recognize the "It" when they hear it, and a launch into the country music stratosphere isn't so far-fetched an idea... 
Lost breath...lost time
(01/15/12)
My friend and fellow Methodist minister, Allen Geeting, passed away on Dec. 29, 2011. He suffered cardiac arrest on Christmas Eve morning, after suffering respiratory arrest brought on by sleep apnea. Al and I attended minister's meetings and church functions together, we laughed at each other's jokes, prayed together, and ate together, but I didn't know that Al was one of the millions of Americans who suffers from sleep apnea... 
Bell Buckle performer lets the music flow
(01/15/12)
If her dream out-of-the-blue phone call arrived, it would be from a big sponsor offering a world tour. For now, Emilie Burke is content with the "Arrival" of her independent-release CD by that name. The album was produced in "Big" Mike Griffin's home studio in Nashville... |
