Your Accent Gives You Away

Dec 11


Just a word.  That’s all it takes for someone to know I am from the south.  Just one little “y’all” will do the trick.  I was born and raised in Georgia, but even in my southern high school friends would often comment on my accent.  “You sure are a southern belle,” they would tell me…

Grab a cup of coffee and join me at The Cafe for the rest of my devotion.  Click HERE.

I'm one sassy southern Mama who loves Jesus and isn't afraid to shout it. My passions are Jesus, my husband, my kids, and chocolate. I'm a teacher turned Christian writer. Ask me why I love Jesus and be prepared to sit a spell. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul, but don't forget to love your neighbor as yourself. I am a firm believer that we can change the world one person at a time - by being Christ with the skin on to those who are in need. Are you a sheep or a goat?

    Hi Carol,
    I read your post on Internet Cafe today and loved it. I thought I’d pop by your site for a visit. (Southerners do that sort of thing right?…just stop by a friend’s house unannounced for a visit):-)

    I can just hear your accent now. I’m from the Phila. area, so we have our own special accent to contend with!

    I hope my speech doesn’t tell others where I live, but I sure DO hope it gives away who I live for!

    I saw this over at Internet Cafe and this has to be one of the best devotions I ever read. I love when people can take something we can all relate to and apply it to the Bible.

    Excellent writing, keep it up!
