Dear Reader:
The plans of mice and men and Ya’s and floods ( including bullfrogs) often go astray- long story but hope to back in action Thursday October 8!
Believe me I have missed all of you but know that I am not alone but with the best of friends!
Please say a prayer for Jackson who lost her home in the Columbia floods!

About Becky Dingle
I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents
were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my
grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old
Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended
Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters
Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am
presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also
taught at the College of Charleston.
For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy
matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of
stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message
through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret
of success in teaching social studies is always in the story.
I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest
teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re
ripe you rot.”

Prayers right away! How awful to lose all your property! If you speak to Jackson tell her God is still with her and things will be even better when she gets everything back in order. Also let her know I am sorry for her losing her home.
God has his wsys of bringing us closer to him and blessing us at the same time. Throughout the State we were still in a small drought condition. The aquifers throughout the State have never made it back to where they should be and that is actually how drought is measured. All this water will fill those aquifers and we will finally be completely out of drought condition. Though there was loss of lives, homes and vehicles we were unknowingly being replinished with much needed water. Our Farmers of all types in the State will benefit in the long run from this water. I am sure people like Jackson aren’t thinking about aquifers, so I pray they will be able to soon get everything back to some normality!
Please stay until all is cleared up and bridges are stabilized beg ore trying to make it home.
Thank you Johnny….got home safely today.
That is so sad…will pray for her
Thank you Gin-g! I am finally back home tonight…just in time to keep Jakie tomorrow at Mandys ….his school is still closed…why did Charleston County schools resume….crazy? Mandy said it was bad today…a gas leak was found close to the school so the principal had the air conditioner turned off….the kids couldn’t get outside because of the faulty gas line….not a good way to return.
