A Fallen Friend

A faithful friend, campanion of the way, and protector died today. Heidi slipped the surly bonds this morning about nine o'clock this morning. She was a good dog. As she lay dying in Stephanie's arms, Stephanie thought of a promise from the Bible: "They that mourn shall be comforted". You will be missed Heidi.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Steve!!!

TSS Update!!

Dear Readers:

Change. It's inevitable. Sometimes controllable, sometimes not. News changes. In the media profession, we have to stay on top of change. Any news over 48 hrs old is not news. It's called archive.

Here at TSS we are always striving to bring you up to the minute on news that concerns you. Your world. Nothing in you world changes faster than your weather (besides your mind perhaps). Weather changes without notice. Unexpected. When disaster strikes, you need to be prepared. Forewarned. That's why we are so excited to announce the arrival of our newest feature! AccuWeather! Now you can get current weather updates right from TSS! We are very excited to bring this incredible feature to you! Thanks to all those who made this advancement possible! her Forecast

Don't be like these people. Stay ahead of the storm.

Let the race begin!!

Shelbyville mayoral candidates are getting ready for the November 6th elections. They are (from left) Democrat Dean McNamara, independent Scott Polston and incumbent Republican Mayor Scott Furgeson. The democrat on the left has a pony tail and the guy in the middle,well...lets just say he didn't get the dress memo...and the republican...alot of people don't like him. Pretty slim pickn's if you ask me! On Thursday a debate was held between the Republican nominee and the Democratic nominee. Read the story here. The independent candidate did not attend stating that "A debate in the Shelbyville Mayors election only benefits Democrats and Republicans." (sounds like a cop out to me)

A tribute to a fallen hero......

Spanish Revival

This past Friday and Saturday we had a weekend Spanish revival with Bro. Lenard Sankey. Bro. Sankey, along with Bro. Don Davison, preached our area IHC the previous Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; so we asked him to come back on the weekend for a Spanish revival. Friday night, we had around 40-50 people there. After the service, we ate in the backyard of the Tompkins St parsonage.

Here's to the chefs....

Saturday night, we had about 110-120 there. The Spanish church in Frankfort In, brought a bus down for the service.

Dear Readers,

The past couple months has been very busy for TSS! Over the past few weeks, TSS has traveled to: Illinois, Florida, Guatemala, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Canada, Ontario, Quebec, and back again! It was very culturally enriching to travel abroad and gain a broader perspective of the different cultures.

The following a different fotos of our journeys:

Superbowl Champs!

Dear Readers,

As I type this post, I am sitting in the Windy City, the commercial, financial, industrial, and cultural center of the Midwest. The sound of air traffic overhead greets me even as I type. The solitude and serenity found in Shelbytucky may have something over Chicago though. As you know, the Chicago Bears will play the Indianapolis Colts tomorrow for the Superbowl Championship. Today we will be traveling though both these cities. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Perhaps next year: Pittsburgh and the Patriots? That would be a trip! The above picture comes from my beloved brother and sister-in-law's private garden apartment view... of the internet. If it was their actual front window view you would be seeing snow and people walking around with layers of clothing... layers and layers... like astronauts ambling over the ground. I will proceed to go out in my one layer of clothing. Watching them go by and seeing the breath from their mouths makes me think I came a mite unprepared. But my wonderful, beautiful, practically-perfect sister-in-law did warn me! Oh, to have heeded that warning!!!

The Smiths

Dear Readers,

I would like to extend a warm welcome to Stephen & Jess(ica) Smith to the blogging world. Welcome. Check them out here.

Wishing you a happy New Year!
