    Thank you Mr JD for sharing your wonderful stories of Granny Tollette, she sounds a lot like Great Aunt whom I loved dearly and sadly lost in 2010 at 32 days of being 105yrs old, I miss her every day as she raised me dad than helped him raise me, she taught me the old ways.
    Stay blessed sir

      One of the first that I came across and from then on, I shared your channel like it was my own. Your stories bring back memories. Precious ones, sometimes, long forgotten. The music, your voice and the words blend well and take me back to my mother. I thank you kindly, Sir.

    That first story is one of my favorites. That Sally Anne reminds me of my grandmother. That Appalachian woman was 5 feet of hell’s rage put fervently to the service of the Lord and her own sense of Justice. One needed to be right with the Lord so long as she walked the earth ‘cause he’d be the only force that could save you if you crossed her. I miss her and her stories so much.

    I love your Granny’s stories. I wish my Granny would’ve lived long enough. My Granny died when she was 52 and I was 5. But I sure enjoy when my Daddy and his brother and 2 sisters are around to tell stories on each other and of their 3 brothers that have gone on I pray to be with the LORD & my Grandpa too. I know when I get to Paradise, Granny will tell me all those stories that she didn’t get to tell me about when I was younger. Thanks JD. Thanks for the memories. 👍🙏❤️🙏

    My Granny lived to be 98. She died in 2012. We called her "Big Mama" although she didn't weigh 90 pounds. She was a POWERFUL woman of God. She held our family together, and after she died, our family has NEVER been the same. She would tell me stories about her life, and it wasn't a walk in the park. Granny endured a lot in life, but she gave more than she had. There wasn't standing room at her funeral because the entire community attended. JD, your stories remind me of my Granny, so PLEASE continue sharies with us. You be blessed Sir. ❤

    I have always had issue with what Paul said about women to Timothy. But then I know that was in a place where idols were worshipped. He also had praise for women who were decons in the church and women running a church from their homes
    Paul should have been more clear.
