SOUTHERNdrawlELN: Fried Corn in a Cool Whip Container
http://southerndrawleln.blogspot.com/2010/06/years-ago-in-tupelo-we-were-having.html
Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Fried Corn in a Cool Whip Container. Years ago in Tupelo, we were having a Going Away party for my fabulous friend, Sally, who was moving to Nashville. We all gathered at Vanelli's and were tickled to have some great entertainment, a still up-and-coming local singer, Paul Thorn. Equally tickling was that he played a great bluesy version of "Mustang Sally" for our honoree. One of his original songs, however, caught my ear with the lines. Now, when I got ready to leave. Addicted to t...

SOUTHERNdrawlELN: Brows Don't Lie
http://southerndrawleln.blogspot.com/2010/06/its-so-hard-to-recall-exactly-when-but.html
Wednesday, June 2, 2010. It’s so hard to recall exactly when, but I believe that junior high was about the time my hair betrayed me. Not one who easily embraces change, when my heretofore tow headed nest began having darker roots, I was not happy. Don’t get me wrong—it’s not that I think blondes really do have more fun. Or live some magical fair-haired life. Champagne and caviar… dancing til dawn… it’s all true! Thinking… thinking… surely, there is a positive point). Finally, I would be taken seriously!

SOUTHERNdrawlELN: And Away We Go!
http://southerndrawleln.blogspot.com/2010/05/and-away-we-go.html
Wednesday, May 26, 2010. And Away We Go! What a strange feeling this is. I can think of a million things to share as my. Ta Da! Well, today is now officially May 26, the date that we lost her in 2006. In some ways it feels so much longer than four years and in others, just like yesterday. I remember being in complete fear of that day for oh so long because I had never before awakened (. Or as Mimi said, "waked up"). Without her. Would I be the same person? Would I ever laugh again? Werent you in the Cow ...

Marilyn's Musings: Box of Rocks
http://marilynvjohnson.blogspot.com/2013/06/box-of-rocks.html
Friday, June 21, 2013. What are we to do with that box of rocks we have collected? Some of those who have been hurt by rocks hold them close to their chest and thrust those same rocks at anyone who comes near. Some bury their head so far into their rocks they become almost unrecognizable. Their most glaringly apparent attribute is the markings of the rocks. Some hold onto the rocks with a death grip. The rocks become a trophy that cannot be pried from their fist. Out of touch with the good earth. Hebrews...

Marilyn's Musings: December 2011
http://marilynvjohnson.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 25, 2011. 8220;Just wait until he says your name! Nancy’s comment was an eager attempt to give me a glimpse of the delight I could look forward to as a grandmother. I was still relatively new in the role and she had a few years experience. Like so many things about being a grandparent, I did not yet understand the magnitude of the words she spoke. Jonathan, almost three, exclaims “Nana’s here! 8221; to acting on their own recognition and love for me. I am abundantly blessed. We learn to ...

Marilyn's Musings: January 2011
http://marilynvjohnson.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. Letting Go Is Hard. As a young adult, I prayed that I would have the faith of Hannah. As a mother, I was amazed at Hannah's faith! I found myself giving my children back to God over and over again. Maybe Hannah did that too in those first fleeting years. But maybe, through her inability to conceive, she learned early the profound truth that mothers struggle to hold. Our children are not ours at all, and they never have been. They are His. In my world recently . . . What a pers...

Marilyn's Musings: February 2011
http://marilynvjohnson.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 13, 2011. Life With No Margins. When I begin a new document, I start with minimum but equal margins and full justification. Can you picture the page full of print? God has been speaking to me lately about that page. In some ways it is a picture of the life of today's woman. The page holds obligations, commitments, and other time eating activities. Most of them are good. Still, the page is full! Still know the words but did not remember the product. What a cruel lie! THE WORD OF TRUTH.

Marilyn's Musings: November 2012
http://marilynvjohnson.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 15, 2012. My daddy died nine years ago today. He was a great big man with an even bigger heart and he loved me. He loved me unconditionally. He was my human picture of God's unconditional love. I thank God for giving me Lewis Vail for my daddy. Fast forward six years. In October of 2003 Daddy got bronchitis. He couldn't shake it. Our fear was that the cancer was back but every test, and there were many, showed the contrary. No cancer. What if it's not true? In the end, I couldn't stop ...
