Here is something I read today in an email I get called "Prime Time With God". Thought it was so good, wanted to share it. The moon is lovely on a clear night only because it reflects the light of the sun. It has no qualities by itself to reflect its beauty. Without the sun shining onto its surface, you and I would never see the moon. It would simply be a dark object in the sky. A...

Several of you know that I am active in supporting Relay For Life, which is a walking and fund raising event for the American Cancer Society. Several of you have actually helped me in my fund raising efforts year round! My husband and I currently have a dear friend who is sick and, because he knew about my work with the ACS, he asked me to help him. Mark told me he wanted to get a message...

This blog is in memory of my Mom who passed away on this day 11 years ago. If you've seen the "Independence Day" video, then you've seen her. She was just like the Mom in the video - similar story, tragic ending after 32 years in a stormy marriage.

Martina was so sweet to autograph jewelry for me last year for the charity auction that I ran. It was a success...

I love that my profile on here states that I am 2011 years old... thanks guys... I didn't need the help in that department. I think it has to do with the fact that I entered only the month and day of my birthday and not the year... because I was trying to not tell how old I really am... but then it goes and shows me as 2011 years old and totally blows me out of the water. I should be much...

She really outdid herself, but this crowd, amazingly, just wasn't into it, many times there were only a few of us standing... but John said this was typical there.... Memphis is tough country music market. They welcomed us up to stand at the stage with Martina and, for a minute, I thought it might be just a few of us go up... everybody was so shy! But finally everybody loosened up. The...
