5 weeks ago Who needs an official press release to make a major life-changing announcement? Not Dierks Bentley! Wednesday night, he announced, via Twitter that he and his wife will be adding to the Bentley family!
5 weeks ago St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is one of my favorite places in the world. It is a place of hope for children and their families that one day, childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases will be a thing of the past. St. Jude makes sure that patients have everything they need to fulfill their dreams!
On Thursday night, during the NFL Draft, one patient will get to experience an amazing dream come true!

Anytime anyone gets sick, especially children, we always ask our friends and family to pray for them. And, I absolutely believe that prayers can bring miracles upon the sick. But, I also believe that the combination of medical care AND prayers is the best bet. These parents do not agree with me. Last week, they lost their SECOND child to illness, after prayer-only healing.
Chris Chaberski has the rest of this story...
In 2009, Herbert and Catherine Schaible lost their 2-year-old son, Kent, to bacterial pneumonia—a condition they refused to let a doctor treat, insisting on using only prayer to heal him. Last week, their second son died. He, too, failed to receive any potentially life-saving medical care.
April 15, 2013 Clyde & Carsyn If you listen to my Midday Show, then you know how much Carsyn loves animals. Any animal... horses, bunnies, kitties, puppies and even unicorns, ha! She's been asking for a pet for a while and I finally decided that I was ready to get one. I knew that a puppy was the way to go... let's be honest, we haven't faired well with cats in the past.
When I walked in to work Thursday morning, Roxianne drug me to the computer to look at some new puppies that SparKy Rescue had ready for adoption. All it took was one look and I was ready to get that puppy!

April 14, 2013 Until I was about 12 years old, my Sunday church outfit consisted of four things... a fancy dress, hose or ruffle socks, dress shoes and one heck of a bow. On special occasions, I might even put on a spiffy hat! Don't y'all remember Easter and Mothers Day when the elder women of the family would get a corsage to wear?!? Or is that just a Tennessee Southern-Baptist thing? Ha!
In my thirty years, I have worn jeans to Sunday morning service....once. It wasn't too long ago and I swear, I felt like the devil himself was setting my legs on fire! They itched the entire service and I swore I'd never do it again! And, so far, I haven't.
This morning in church, the pastor recommended to take over as senior pastor was preaching. I was SO excited to hear him preach and to see the new direction the church was taking. I almost gasp at his outfit when he walked up to the pulpit.

April 8, 2013 Case of the Monday's? Parent of a toddler? Sports fan? Here is a video for you!! Watch this little girl imitate her Dad as he's watching a basketball game. She is precious and this is hilarious! Kinda makes me nervous that my Carsyn will start imitating things she's heard me yell at the TV, ha!

April 4, 2013 US Army Sgt. Michael Cable's body returned home Thursday morning. The Philpot 26 year old was killed while serving in Afghanistan last week.
Community members joined together this morning to show their support for Sgt. Cable and his family by lining up along the route from the airport to the funeral home.
I will never forget watching the processional of official vehicles, Patriot Riders and other organizations leading Sgt. Cable's body and family and close friends down Frederica Street. Three veterans stood with us in front of the station and seeing their reaction was very emotional. We tend to take for granted the freedoms what we have and the men and women who protect those freedoms. Sgt. Michael Cable and all that serve our great nation can never be thanked enough for their service.
April 3, 2013 Wednesday morning Mike Rice was relieved of his duties as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Rutgers. Video tapes from practices of the team surfaced Tuesday and spread like wildfire. These videos showed Rice berating players with physical and verbal abuse.
When I first saw the video, I was livid. Not only as a mother, but also as a sports fan.
April 2, 2013 I LOVE Disney movies... always have, always will! My favorite will forever be The Little Mermaid, but I have several others that aren't far behind. Finding Nemo is one of those movies that I can watch over and over. It's a good thing I like it, because Carsyn and I watch Nemo and his friends on a weekly basis and pretty much know every word to it. We even find ourselves quoting, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming" in normal conversation, ha!
So, when Ellen DeGeneres, the voice of one of the main characters from the movie, tweeted this photo, I got really excited!!
