Mary R. Snyder visits The Story Table
Hey friends, our conversation on the many invitations of God to come, and keep coming, resumes today with a visit with Mary R. Snyder, creator of Take the Stage. I hope you'll enjoy. Here's a bit more about Mary in her own words: I’m Mary – a true southerner who loves the indoors. Yes, that’s right; the indoors. I like a comfortable chair and some AC. Have you been to
Choosing our Way Forward
Hey friends, thinking aloud and thought I'd share
In Times Like These
Hello friends! Y'all are never far from my mind these days, and often in my prayers. In the words of an old commercial, it prompts me "to reach out and touch". Whoever is saying, "What next?" needs to stop! Can I get an amen? The turmoil in our country has continued to boil, and the division seems to be growing wider by the day. Last
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas friends, I hope this finds you and yours well. I think of you often and wonder how you are faring in these strange times, so I'm making a quality decision to hit the breaks and catch up with y'all as we head into these final preparation days for Christmas.

But, if you’ll remember, the limit for gatherings was 50 at the time. Things are changing quickly aren’t they. I know it can be unsettling. I’m praying for you. I’m also praying for ways to reach more and more people
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
