Produktbeschreibung
A collection of ponderings full of wit and wisdom to inspire you, make you smile, and even laugh out loud. Sit down, relax, and take a moment to stroll down a sun-dappled roadway, climb the steps to an old country church, wade in a clear mountain stream, listen to the rushing water as it pours over river rocks, smell the fresh air after a rain, and soak in the beauty and grandeur of God's masterpiece found in the ever-changing panorama of the Great Smoky Mountains. You will enjoy a bit of history as well as introductions to some interesting folks who call this mountain paradise home. You won't want to miss the story of burning the palm fronds for Ash Wednesday-they sure smelled sweet, a bit like marijuana-and the "noises in the night" among many others, too funny for words. Each one, a feel-good story, intertwined with God's own Word.

Autorenporträt
Born in 1940 in Cleveland, Tennessee, Alta was appointed pastor of the Pittman Center United Methodist Churches in 2001 at sixty years of age and serves the same three churches today. Before entering the ministry, Alta had a varied background, not only in religion but in law and insurance as well. She served as deputy clerk for circuit, sessions, criminal, juvenile and probate courts in both Bradley and McMinn counties. Named "Outstanding Young Woman of the Year" for McMinn County in 1974, Alta was included in Personalities of the South, honoring her many civic and professional contributions. For twenty-two years, she was a licensed insurance agent and executive vice president of Blackwood Insurance Agency in Maryville, Tennessee. A certified lay speaker for three years before her call into full-time ministry, she enjoyed speaking in many Methodist pulpits, drawing from each a sense of "being in the right place doing the right thing. It just felt good!"
