Shellie’s Coronavirus Infomercial
Hello folks, let’s chat…If you're local, you'll remember the years I said those words to y'all on KNOE TV8. Many of you still meet me in public and tell me you remember those short videos. I appreciate that, too. Today, however, I want to talk to you about the Coronavirus because we’re all dying unless we’re not. Kidding. Breathe, y’all. I cleared my throat in
Festival Gators and A Belated Ground Hog Day Greeting
Hey y'all, I thought I'd post this because yesterday was Groundhog Day, and I'm nothing if not right on top of things around here, right? (Don't answer that. God "don't" like ugly.) This is a little excerpt from one of my humor books, Sue Ellen's Girl Ain't Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy. It occurred to me that A) I rarely mention them anymore, and B)
Hiding from the FBI and Other Big News
Hey folks! Are y'all wondering about that headline? I thought you might. I had to drop a little funny for two reasons. First, it's been so long since I sent out an email I figured you may be indeed thinking I was either hiding from the law or I had fallen off my kayak and become gator bait. Neither is true, as of this writing.

So, this is happening! I'm going to be teaching my new book at Whites Ferry Rd., Church of Christ in West Monroe, LA, January 25, 2020.

When Your Smart Device Taunts You
Hey y'all! See this bad boy? He’s officially called a Zenergy but there’s a story behind his new nickname and he is not as innocent as this pic would suggest. The beloved farmer and I bought him a while back. (I wrote about it here.) We used him for a while —until he somehow got unplugged, and sat alone through the busy holidays. I fixed
finding a Deep and wide christmas Advent – Dec. 25th
Merry Christmas, friends! May the love of God, the grace of Christ Jesus and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit overwhelm you with joy today. Our devotional has drawn to a close, but I hope you’ll stay connected. I want to keep walking forward with you. As Oswald Chambers once said in one of my all-time favorite quotes, “Let the past sleep, but let it
FINDING A DEEP AND wIDE chRISTMAS aDVENT – dEC. 24TH
If these devotions have stirred you to want more of God, to behold Jesus until He transforms you, consider sharing your journey with your family and friends. It may be a life-changer for them, too! Transformation is powerful stuff! The culture knows it—hence the bombardment of before-and-after images in magazines and on home-improvement shows. This transformative life is our calling, and Paul encourages us to live it in
Finding a Deep and Wide Christmas Advent – Dec. 23rd
Christmas is near, and I hope you and yours enjoy every minute of it! My prayer is that these short devotions have set us up to resist the empty promises the world hawks twenty-four/seven and walk into the deep and wide life Jesus died to give us. It’s impossible to read John without wondering about the discrepancy between the experience of the average believer and the
Finding a Deep and Wide Christmas Advent- Dec. 22nd
The to-do list is long, and time seems short, but we walk among souls God dearly loves. Our opportunity is to stay conscious of Jesus and let Him reach for them through our lives, even as we go about our day. We don’t learn such living in a once and done. We learn it by daring to die to us and live to Him in this
