My Family Reunion 2011


Greetings from Memphis, Tennessee!
Friday, July 8th - Sunday, July 10th
(That's me in the back on the far right....only time you'll see me on the far right of anything-lol....We had a great time..fellowshiping, dining and touring historic Memphis...We of course made trips to Beale Street and sampled their famous Barbecue....I'm ashamed of myself , the way I ate on this trip..LOL! We went to the Civil Rights museum as I mentioned yesterday and we went to the Stax Museum and Graceland.  (Yes..I've seen Elvis's gravesite.!!) I also took a ride on the mighty and muddy Mississippi river!! The highlight of course has to be the great cuisine ...Which I will talk about in a future blogpost and possibly on another blog. It was great seeing my many relatives from around the U.S. A. , but like they say..There truly is no place like home. I am truly glad to be back...Don't think I'll eat any ribs or pulled pork sandwiches for awhile.............................





We were in Memphis, The Home of Stax Records and Southern Soul...Hope you enjoy these samples of music recorded in Memphis during it's hey dey in the sixties and seventies.Soul Classics All!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: There are times when I feel completely helpless to alter the circumstances in my life. I am powerless to turn around a bad economy, or ensure a favorable report from my doctor, or guarantee my spouse will always love me, or make sure I am never in an accident. When I sense that I have no control over what is occurring in my life, my energy lags and fear and frustration begin to overwhelm me. Let your spirit of peace spill freely over me until I recover my inner calm. Help me remember that it is not control that gives me peace, but knowing that I am loved and beloved by the heart of heaven. Amen.
