By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I once heard a phrase that lodged itself firmly into my memory banks. It resurfaces every time I encounter a situation to which it applies—and it applies far more often than we’d like to admit. The phrase came from a group of little girls reenacting a sermon their preacher father hadContinue reading “One Bad Batch 2/1/2026”

Riches, Roots and the Roads Between 11/23/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We began our mountain vacation with a bang. That first full day brimmed with the kind of moments that stay with a family for years — long after we’re tired of scrolling through the photos and long after we’ve burned off the extra pounds from all the delectable food. Yet beneathContinue reading “Riches, Roots and the Roads Between 11/23/2025”
Tea with Jack (Sort Of) 7/20/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We are living in strange days. I suppose, though, if you have any dealings with the popular stories of the day, this isn’t a particularly shocking statement. In fact, I may go so far as to say it’s old news. We’ve come to expect all manner of the unexpected—to the pointContinue reading “Tea with Jack (Sort Of) 7/20/2025”
Where Liberty Lived–And Still Lives for Good 7/6/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The concept of freedom has been on my mind as of late. Yes, my nation just celebrated its Independence Day—that’s part of it, I suppose—but it isn’t merely a dose of patriotism that has stirred these thoughts. Honestly, my mind went a million different places, many of which I didn’t expect.Continue reading “Where Liberty Lived–And Still Lives for Good 7/6/2025”
Very Curious Indeed 3/9/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This week, while driving either to or from work, I can’t remember which, I saw a man fishing. Now, I know what you’re thinking. How is this something significant enough for me to write about? People fish. It’s spring in the South and someone fishing seems a terribly reasonable thing. ButContinue reading “Very Curious Indeed 3/9/2025”
People, Places and Things 2/2/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I think I might be a bit different. Anyone reading this who knows me well probably finds that statement an obvious and terribly delayed announcement. I decided to make this statement because of what happened in my brain as I was trying to think of a topic for today. I hadContinue reading “People, Places and Things 2/2/2025”
The Lies We Tell Ourselves 1/5/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Apparently, the new year hasn’t done much by way of refreshing my mind with new and interesting topics. The things that are currently in my mind most right now are all the typical commentary that one hears at the beginning of the year. There are the usual announcements of people whoContinue reading “The Lies We Tell Ourselves 1/5/2025”
Homecoming 10/6/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt By the time this publishes I will be in my happy place. I had planned all along to talk a bit about my beloved mountains when planning what to write. However, I know this is a somewhat exhausted topic, while not for me as I would happily write about this asContinue reading “Homecoming 10/6/2024”
In Spite of It All, Hope 9/8/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I was listening to someone express the woes of today’s society and honestly, I wasn’t disagreeing. The conversation carried on down the path of bemoaning how the world isn’t what it used to be and how things were so terribly different. This is probably, no, definitely true. I absolutely didn’t usedContinue reading “In Spite of It All, Hope 9/8/2024”
