December 7, 1941!

The bombing of Pearl Harbor, a day which will live in infamy!  You know the rest!  Don't let commercialism make you forget!  The USS Arizona is still crying after 70 years.  Little known facts about African-Americans role in Pearl Harbor.

Rest In Peace, Ellen Hill!

Ellen L. Hill, 66, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at Self Regional Medical Center. Born in Newberry, SC, she was the daughter of the late Roger Leaks and Phebbie Johnson Leaks. She was a member of Scurry Spring Hill Baptist Church in Chappells. She was a member of the Morning Glory Garden Club, Secretary of AARP and a member of the Women Aide Society No. 47.

Ellen lost her mother last year, May 10, 2011 (See picture of family under Ms. Phebbie Leaks). God bless this family and strengthen them during these times of sorrow.  Please keep her children and grandchildren in your prayers.  One of the grand's birthday was on the same day his grandmom passed.


Matters of the Heart - Tia D!

Another great poem from Tia D!


Came clean of hidden motives
 Now I've begun to see
That all the times that I blamed them
The real problem was me

I should have been more guarded
Less of an open book
In giving up my heart unearned
They had no need to look

But now with all my walls up
And every door secure
I’ve taken back this heart of mine
Protecting it for sure

Won’t give it up so freely
When it’s worth so much more
So if you want my heart this time
You must break through the door

And if you want my trust now
Courageously pursue
Because this time around you see
The choice is left to you

Be Careful What You Ask For!

We've all heard the saying “Be careful what you ask for, you might get it”, but sometimes it’s not quite what we expected. There are mom...
