Shellie’s Coronavirus Infomercial

Hello folks, lets chatIf youre local, youll remember the years I said those words to yall on KNOE TV8. Many of you still meet me in public and tell me you remember those short videos. I appreciate that, too. Today, however, I want to talk to you about the Coronavirus because were all dying unless were not. Kidding. Breathe, yall. I cleared my throat in public the other day, and as I said to my social media friends, if looks could kill, the virus wouldnt have to!

But, back to my point. What Im...

Festival Gators and A Belated Ground Hog Day Greeting

Hey y’all, I thought I’d post this because yesterday was Groundhog Day, and I’m nothing if not right on top of things around here, right? (Don’t answer that. God “don’t” like ugly.) This is a little excerpt from one of my humor books, Sue Ellen’s Girl Ain’t Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy. It occurred to me that A) I rarely mention them anymore, and B) We are approaching the next big election and politics is even crazier than it was when this first released. (Don’t waste your sweet little emails...

Hiding from the FBI and Other Big News

Hey folks! Are y’all wondering about that headline? I thought you might. I had to drop a little funny for two reasons. First, it’s been so long since I sent out an email I figured you may be indeed thinking I was either hiding from the law or I had fallen off my kayak and become gator bait. Neither is true, as of this writing. However… the FBI thing could be looming. If you’ll allow me to explain, it may also unravel the mystery behind my absence from your inbox!

Fighting for our Lives – Excerpted from Finding Deep and Wide

I hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from my new releaseFinding Deep and Wide…

…When my grands spend the night, I tuck them into bed in a guest room down our back hall. They’ve learned that come the next morning, they’ll find me in the great room with my Bible and my coffee. As soon as their little eyes open, they are bent on one destination— Keggie and her chair. Down the hall they come.

Let me tell you what they don’t do when they reach the great room door. They don’t peek around the corner to...

When Your Smart Device Taunts You

Hey y’all! See this bad boy? He’s officially called a Zenergy but there’s a story behind his new nickname and he is not as innocent as this pic would suggest.

The beloved farmer and I bought him a while back. (I wrote about it here.) We used him for a while —until he somehow got unplugged, and sat alone through the busy holidays. I fixed that yesterday. He fixed me this morning…

Way before daylight (as planned ) he began to glow and to play instrumental music, softly (as planned) to wake...

finding a Deep and wide christmas Advent – Dec. 25th

Merry Christmas, friends! May the love of God, the grace of Christ Jesus and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit overwhelm you with joy today. Our devotional has drawn to a close, but I hope you’ll stay connected. I want to keep walking forward with you. As Oswald Chambers once said in one of my all-time favorite quotes, “Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.”

Knowing God is our...

FINDING A DEEP AND wIDE chRISTMAS aDVENT – dEC. 24TH

If these devotions have stirred you to want more of God, to behold Jesus until He transforms you, consider sharing your journey with your family and friends. It may be a life-changer for them, too!

Transformation is powerful stuff! The culture knows it—hence the bombardment of before-and-after images in magazines and on home-improvement shows. This transformative life is our calling, and Paul encourages us to live it in Christ transparently! Be brave enough to let others follow your journey....
