Pay It Forward Comes To An Abilene Restaurant
Sunday after Church, I migrated the family over to the Cracker Barrel off of I-20. The place was packed but we were seated within a short period of time and everybody I encountered was friendly and (what seemed to me) in a joyous Holiday mood. As I was informed by our very friendly server Heather, she said “for that past couple of hours something really strange has been going on, this very table y

I was just about to go up on stage at Guitars and Cadillac’s and introduce the first act Friday night at the Brantley Gilbert concert, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw another country music singer, songwriter and producer, Rhett Akins.

Bill O’Reilly and Jon Stewart Feud Over "Merry Christmas" [VIDEO]
Do you say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, or do you care? A satirical-feud has ensued the past several years, between Bill O’Reilly and Jon Stewart over whether we should say “Merry Christmas” or the more Christian-less “Happy Holidays.” As if we didn’t already have enough on our plates to think about, these two nut jobs have me doubting myself on whether I’m going to offend someone this holid
