Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
There are not many instances that we today have an application for such a question. Tunnels are few and far in between in our day-to-day travels unless you live where subways or mountain tunnels are the norm.

Activity helps strengthen each day
Click, click, click, click, emanates from my sneakers as I walk along the hiking path ever hopeful that with each passing mile I am a little more fit and well on my way to losing the few pounds I am seeking to shed. After opening boxes, and pulling jeans up only to find they will […]
Share America presents guitar to Soddy Daisy, Tenn. youth Logan Puryear
The Share America Foundation was able to fulfill the wishes of long-time supporter Joey Chamberlain at the Ringgold Opry by presenting a guitar she donated to a talented youth musician Logan Puryear, 17, of Soddy Daisy, Tenn. in honor of the Apison Lions Club.

The mirror reflects only what it sees
Many of us find ourselves each morning at least for a few minutes peering into a silver backed piece of glass which reflects back towards us the mirror image of ourselves. We see the teeth as we brush, the pores of our skin as we wash our face, shave, and/or trim the hairs which grew […]
Be resolute
From childhood, I was taught that the arrival of the new year brings tidings of new opportunity. The process begins with collard greens, black-eyed peas, hog jowls and cornbread ringing in the new year with the potential of good fortune. After the meal is over then begins the hard work.

Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry left the cotton farms of Fort Payne, Alabama to spend the summer playing music in a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina bar called The Bowery. It’s a classic American tale […]

Loneliness is a feeling that many manage throughout the year. When Christmas comes around though up goes the beauty of […]
I’m a pickin’ and I’m a grinnin’
Throughout my childhood there were two consistent high points to weekends – Saturday nights at 7 p.m. for “Hee Haw” and Sunday mornings for “The Gospel Singing Jubilee.” In the course of one week, America said goodbye to key stars of both of those shows which made up a huge piece of the American fabric […]
Cooking, cleaning and compliments
Thanksgiving is a time in my memory that takes me back to the days of splendidly set tables, endless rows of holiday delights and friends and family gathered with their heads bowed thanking God for his blessings upon our homes. I can still smell the turkey turning a golden brown, the sage that flavored the […]
