"Cancer
is so prevalent today that if you don't already have cancer, you probably know
of someone who does. We're all touched by this disease. That's why I was so
convicted to write this book, because this is the book I needed when I was
first diagnosed. It is so easy for your mind to be filled with anger and fear
after receiving a diagnosis like terminal cancer. I needed spiritually
uplifting books that gave me insight on how to live with cancer, how to be okay
with the disease and most importantly, how to embrace this time as an
opportunity from God. I hope this book offers you the encouragement you
need and opens your eyes to God's working and miracles that hide within the darkest
moments of your life." -- Toni E. Roberts
Christy Meredith only longs for Pop-Tarts, and maybe a few cans of Vienna sausages, and perhaps some Rice Krispie Treats.
Only she needs lots of them, and she needs them now.
Meredith is coordinator of the Shelby County Backpack Project Inc., which feeds hundreds of children every weekend who would probably otherwise go hungry.
It is way too easy to miss exit 35 as you're headed east on I-64 at night. Everyone I've asked has at least one time missed the exit and thus has had to drive to Waddy to turn around.
Why is that?
Tom Creamer may have bounced around some as a high school basketball coach, but the pinnacle of his career came when he lighted in Shelby County and took the 1978 Rockets to the top.
When it was time to settle down somewhere a little more permanent, he again looked toward Shelby County; it has been his home since 1992.
At age 16, Ricky Mendoza spent four days in the Rio Grande crossing into the United States from Mexico. At times, the water was up to his chin.
But he made it across and vowed he would never return.
It has been a long time and a lot of good horses since Mike Spencer started grooming in the "back barn" for legendary saddlebred trainers Charles and Helen Crabtree.
Barely a teenager, Spencer went to work as a groom for the Crabtrees. He was assigned to work in the barn in the back of the property.
