Reviewing the commercials (02/12/10)
If you were like me and only watched the Super Bowl for the commercials, well then you were in for quite a treat. Some of the famous and top commercials that aired this year may not have been the funniest like the past ones, but they were definitely memorable. Here are three of my favorites from this year's Super Bowl commercials...
Ways to help your community (02/04/10)
When God blesses us, He expects us to use those blessings to bless the lives of others ~Jim Gallery When you look the word "volunteer" up in the dictionary, it states "one who renders a service or takes part in a transaction while having no legal concern or interest." Volunteers are not in it for recognition or special attention. ...
Little Rock's Old Mill was in Gone With The Wind (01/27/10)
'Gone With The Wind' is one of my favorite films of all time. So, of course, when my family decided to go to the Old Mill in Little Rock, I was very excited. The Old Mill was used in the opening scene of 'Gone With The Wind'. No one still knows for sure why the director chose that particular spot but it is the only remaining artifact still existing...

It's still "A Wondeful Life" (12/03/09)
We see it on television every Christmas: a movie that continues to be a favorite from generation to generation, "It's a Wonderful Life". The film's setting was reminiscent of Jimmy Stewart's Pennsylvania hometown, where his mother played the organ for their church...
Much to be thankful for (11/25/09)
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for. As I look around and count my blessings, God has truly blessed me with a loving family, supportive friends and good health. I asked a few locals what they were thankful for this year. Angela Vaughn of Lepanto said she was thankful for God and a wonderful family...
Being satisfied with yourself (11/13/09)
When I was growing up, I felt like I had ugly teeth and a big booty. Oh and for years, I was always taller than the guys in my class. I felt different. Where I felt like these were "terrible curses", others tried to assure me that they were blessings in disguise or "stages" that I would outgrow in time. I have been told that beauty is only skin-deep or beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...
