Debby Bailey is one of my very best friends from the Pikeville, Kentucky area. We went through the terrible teens together and don't get to see each other nearly as often as we would like to, or as often as we should, (being best friends and all.....)

Ariel Dingus is my beautiful vivacious daughter.

Holden Dingus is my wonderfully deep-thinking younger son.

Hoyt Dingus is my handsome happy-go-lucky oldest son.

Rachel Mullins is my absolute best friend in this world and also happens to be my can't-do-without Mother.  She is also the strongest woman I have been fortunate to know, spiritually and emotionally.

Anna Stillwell is also my best friend, and she happens to be my very favorite sister in the whole wide world ( she's my only sister... but still my favorite one ).

Kelsy Stillwell is my brilliant niece who has been a miracle to us all.

Rick Stillwell happens to be the husband of my sister and the father of my niece, and serves as a local elder for the Asheville, NC church area.  He is full of love for the Lord and for his entire family.  He is very generous, because he lets my sister come to my house for visits...often.  Thanks, Rick.  We love you!

Emily Hill is a seventeen year old friend of Hoyt and Ariel's.  She currently attends High School with them and won First Place in a Poetry Contest with this poem.  She has a deep love for Jesus and she lets it shine.

Donna J. Friend is just what her name implies...a friend, and a great one at that.  She is also an Assistant Boy Scout Master for the BSA Troop in Grundy, Virginia.  She is also a nurse with a deep love for Jesus and writing.

Gray Wolf is a close friend who has graciously shared his stories with me and allowed me to post them on this site.  I hope you enjoy his prolific story-telling as much as I do.
