DUMPLIN VALLEY BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL


This is one of the best bluegrass festivals in the area. The facilities are top-notch.The entertainment is second to none. A well managed event.Beautiful setting,the fans are from all over.It is easy to find,right beside I-40,but feels like 1930 and you can barely see the interstate.
Get all the info by visiting the website ,but be prepared words and pictures can not convey the feeling of being there. http://www.dumplinvalleybluegrass.com/

GOD MAY WEEP

  SHE and ME! By~Kimberly A. Southward 09-14-09
There is a beautiful woman who lives inside of my dreams.
When I look into the mirror it is her face that peers back at me.
But in the waking world we are nothing remotely alike...
We are as different as the day is from the night.
She is strong and kind and always owns control....
Where I am weak and afraid and chaos has its hold.
Will there ever be a time when she is me and I am she?
I need the answer to this question so desparately!
Until that time I will continue to dream....
And try to remember that things in life aren't always what they seem.

A CALL TO ACTION
JIM CAULDER 5-7-07
THE PROPHETS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT.PAID FOR WITH SHARES OF STOCKS.
THE POETS ARE SILENT, BEHIND DOORS WITH DOUBLE LOCKS.

OUR FOOD IS “HOMEGROWN” IN A FOREIGN PLACE.
WE ARE TOLD “IT`S THE BEST” BY A SMILING FAMILIAR FACE.

OUR LANDFILLS ARE FULL OF THINGS WITHOUT WHICH WE COULD NOT LIVE.
OUR NATIONAL MOTTO “IT IS BETTER TO RECEIVE THAN TO GIVE”.

EVERYTHING IS INSTANT…GRITS, RELATIONSHIPS, And A SPRAY ON TAN.
WE ARE TOLD WHAT WE THINK, BY OUR NIGHTLY NEWSMAN.

WE KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG BY THE EMPTINESS OF OUR SOUL.
WE KEEP MARCHING THROUGH DARKNESS, AS THE BELLS OF DOOM TOLL.

OUR PRISONS ARE FULL, THE SCHOOLS ARE LOCKED DOWN.
FEAR IS OUR RULER IN EVERY VILLAGE AND TOWN.

ELECTED BY ABSENTEE BALLOT OR HE RAN UNOPPOSED.
THEY PROMISE TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOM, BUT THE CONSTITUTION MUST BE RE-COMPOSED.

WE STILL HAVE A CHOICE “TO BE OR NOT TO BE”.
IT`S STILL OUR COUNTRY “FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA”.

THERE IS MUCH WRONG…BUT ALL IS NOT LOST.
THE LONGER WE WAIT…THE GREATER THE COST.

LIFT UP YOUR VOICE, CAST YOUR CONSIDERED VOTE.
RUN FOR OFFICE; WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE A NOTE.

BEFORE A PLEASANT SONG CAN BE SUNG IN OUR LAND,
NEW WORDS MUST BE WRITTEN.TAKE YOUR PEN IN HAND!

WAIT NOT FOR ANOTHER, FOR ANOTHER CANNOT DO YOUR PART.
WHEN OTHERS SEE YOUR EFFORTS, THEY TOO WILL TAKE HEART.

SO BEGINS THE REVOLUTION, ONE BRAVE SMALL STEP AT A TIME.
WE WIN BY JUST BEGINNING, LET THE VICTORY BELLS CHIME!
