I live in the fun little metropolis known as Springfield, Tennessee. Each year our town has this amazing event called The Taste of Country. It’s a full day filled with food, music, food, games, food, vendors… did I mention food? Traditionally there is always some type of cooking competition on that day. This year was … [Read more…]
I got a machete for Mother’s Day. Yep, you read that right a machete – no typo, no mistake. Also got a compound bow. Now before you start feeling sorry for me and saying horrible things about how my kids can’t give a decent gift, let me set the record straight. I was thrilled – … [Read more…]
Last week my mother-in-law, Sandra, died. She was a sweet person, loved by everyone, and will be hugely missed. Since my own mother died when I was young, Sandra was there for me every step of my wedding. Not only did she play the role of mother of the groom but also mother of the … [Read more…]

I recently saw this post on Facebook – “Until God opens the next door, Praise Him in the hallway”. Being someone who is presently sitting in the hallway wondering where I’m supposed to serve next, I thought WOW! I know He has a plan and I know I’m supposed to be doing something – … [Read more…]
When I was a young girl, my brother who was 12 years my senior, decided it was his task in life to make Christmas difficult for me. Every year, I would pull his gift from under the tree with trepidation. His whole goal every Christmas was to make my gift difficult to open. It started … [Read more…]

My name is Carol, and I’m a volunteer addict. Yes, it’s true. I LOVE to be in the middle of whatever is happening. Whenever someone comes up with an idea, I am so there. Lately, I have found that my passion for volunteering has been a detriment to my spiritual well-being. How can that be … [Read more…]
