I’ll Fly Away, Live
I was a couple of months pregnant here and my daddy was visiting us in Colorado. We recorded a few live videos and I am forever thankful I will always have this memory with him. For all my lovers of old Southern Gospel, this is for you!

D Is For Holiday’s! Wait, What?
Dysfunctional: a : not functioning properly : marked by impaired or abnormal functioning b : characterized by abnormal or unhealthy interpersonal behavior or interaction Since the 1980’s the word dysfunctional has been used to describe family dynamics.

We received word my husbands eldest nephew, Jake, lost his fight with his demons. After achieving a period of abstinence, the devil knocked on the door, he answered and his body failed him.

For a moment I believed there was hope! He…
