The McKameys have always been one of my favorite groups. Their heart and genuine care for the music and people they sing to can be seen in every concert. Though I always hoped I wouldn’t see the day they would leave the road, I’m glad that they are following the Lord’s leading in their lives…
Tucked away in the rolling hills of Eastern Tennessee is a timeless piece of American history. And when I say tucked away, I mean, tucked away! The two lane leading into Greeneville, Tennessee curved around beautiful countryside fields before it led me into the small town that was home to our 17th President, Andrew Johnson….
Earlier in the year I read Sarai by Jill Eileen Smith and really enjoyed it, so I decided to dig into another one of her books, Redeeming Grace. The Biblical story of Ruth is my favorite. I’ve always viewed it like an ancient Cinderella, where loss and heartache turns into true love and the couple…
Frederick and Reena couldn’t be more different than night and day. He’s a preacher, she’s a pirate and together, they make an odd couple. Odd, because one is trying to follow God and the other is running as far away as they can from Him. Throw in an old map that’s scattered among the Caribbean…

Memorial Day Weekend came to a close at Indian Creek Baptist Church with three great artists on Saturday night – Gold City, Tim Lovelace and Triumphant Quartet.

Some Biblical Fiction novels focus on people from the Bible you’d recognize; like Ruth, Esther, Sarah, etc. Then there are some that set fictional characters in a Biblical setting, and that’s the structure of A Light On The Hill by Connilyn Cossette. With no particular story from the Bible to set the course, the author…
If you miss lunch on purpose so you can eat at the “food shack,” you might be in Carnesville, Georgia over Memorial Day Weekend. Indian Creek Baptist Church hosts a three day Gospel sing and one of the things they’re known for is their cooking! In front of the tent is what we affectionately call…
If you’ve been attending an event so long you can’t remember what year you started going, I guess that makes it a tradition, right? Because that’s the case when Memorial Day Weekend comes around – I know I’ll be in Carnesville, Georgia at the Indian Creek Memorial Day Weekend Gospel Singing. Not only does Indian…
