  • The Faith of Dolly Parton by Dudley Delffs
    Dudley’s book gives great insight into why so many people around the world love Dolly Parton. While Dolly is one of the biggest superstars, she has never forgotten who she is and where she came from and the faith that anchors her life. GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE, Bill Haslam, and First Lady Crissy Haslam Three amazing strands of stories are woven into this fabu- lous book, The Faith of Dolly Parton by Dudley Delffs. The thread of biography speaks of a fascinating woman whom we tend to think we know, but whom I admire even more when seeing her through the lens of faith. The thread of memoir shared through the author’s blending of his own life story with Dolly’s is a gift of hope and connection. And the final thread, that of devotional, invites us to more. Faith- based questions at the end of each chapter take us deeper into our own stories, while the prayers remind us that it was Dolly’s faith that has taken her to the heights she’s attained, as she humbly acknowledges. Reading this book reminded me of my own faith journey and the gift of story told through music, words, and life. I love this book! You will too! JANE KIRKPATRICK, award- winning author of All She Left Behind The Faith of Dolly Parton is a little book filled with big dreams! Dudley Delffs weaves together his unique spiritual journey with the wonder and wisdom of Dolly Parton’s with a heartwarming result.

  • 1 Poems About Eagles This Is a Collection of Poems
    Poems About Eagles This is a collection of poems - old and new - that have been written about eagles. Some you may recognize because they are included in anthologies. Others are from “Kindred Spirits” whose musings about eagles lead them to put pen to paper. Some have been sent to us to share, and we are happy to do so here. If you have a poem you’d like to share about eagles, please email [email protected]. The Dalliance of Eagles by Walt Whitman Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,) Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles, The rushing amorous contact high in space together, The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel, Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling, In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight downward falling, Till o’er the river pois’d, the twain yet one, a moment’s lull, A motionless still balance in the air, then parting, talons loosing, Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting, their separate diverse flight, She hers, he his, pursuing. f The Eagle Isaiah 40:31 by Edwin Curran KJV The dome of heaven is thy house But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their Bird of the mighty wing, strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they The silver stars are as thy boughs shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not Around thee circling. faint. f Thy perch is on the eaves of heaven Thy white throne all the skies Thou art like lightning driven Flashing over paradise! f 1 The Eagle by Isaac McLellan (1806-1899) Monarch of the realms supernal, Thou wingest where a tropic sky Ranger of the land and sea, Bendeth its celestial dome, Symbol of the Grand Republic, Where sparkling waters greet the eye, Who so noble and so free? And gentlest breezes fan the foam; Thine the boundless fields of either, Where spicy breath from groves of palm, Heaven’s unfathom’d depths are thine; Laden with aromatic balm, Far beyond our human vision, Blows ever, mingled with perfume On thy vans the sunbeams shine.

  • Park Announces Dolly Parton As 75Th Anniversary Ambassador Great Smoky Mountains National Park Superintendent Has Announced That
    Park Announces Dolly Parton as 75th Anniversary Ambassador Great Smoky Mountains National Park Superintendent has announced that Dolly Parton has agreed to serve as the Ambassador during the Park’s celebration of its 75th Anniversary. As the Park’s Ambassador, Parton will lend her name and image to a variety of Park events, activities and informational media. Ditmanson said “When we first sat down with our park partners and began brainstorming about how the Park’s anniversary could best gain national stature we asked ourselves: ‘If we could pick one person who is the most recognized and personifies the love of the Smokies, who would it be?’ The answer was a resounding ‘Dolly Parton! But she’s so much in demand; do you think she’ll do it?” To find out the answer, contacts were made through Friends of the Smokies with the Dollywood Foundation and found that Parton, who grew up in foothills of the Smokies in Sevier County, Tenn. was excited to be asked to help the Park celebrate its anniversary. “The Smokies are part of my DNA.” Parton said, “I have always been an Ambassador, but I am particularly honored to become “official” for this special 75th Anniversary.” In addition to lending her endorsement to various Park-related publications and other informational media, the singer/actress Dolly has written an entire album entitled “Sha-Kon-O-Hey”, which is the phonetic spelling for the Cherokee word, “Shaconage”, or “Land of the Blue Smoke”. 1 The rights to the entire album will be donated to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park through the Friends of the Smokies during the 75th anniversary year.

  • Micah Stephens Anthony ART 499 May 1, 2016 Dollywood Or Bust: a Theme Park and Its Community Dollywood Is a Theme-Park Set in T
    Micah Stephens Anthony ART 499 May 1, 2016 Dollywood or Bust: A Theme Park and its Community Dollywood is a theme-park set in the mountains of East Tennessee. Located in Sevier County, Tennessee, Dollywood is right next door to Smoky Mountain National Park and is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Tennessee. Dollywood has grown an industry of tourism around Sevier County, specifically on the Pigeon Forge strip, that has made a huge impact on the community. While there are differing opinions on what tourism does to a community, the economy that it builds in this particular area allows the community to sustain itself. Dolly Parton, the namesake and figure head of the park, has often said of herself, “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap” (N.p.). Similarly, some say that the tourism on the strip looks cheap, but it takes substantial funding to support a community sustained by tourism. While Dollywood’s opening season was in 1986, the park has a history dating back to 1961. Dollywood as we know it now has taken many different names through the years, beginning in 1961 as Rebel Railroad. Rebel Railroad, owned and operated by the Robins Brothers opened for its first season in 1961(“Historic Attractions”). The park focused on local heritage with a coal fired steam train and saloon, but didn’t have many other attractions at this stage in its development. It had a successful opening season and continued with its success until 1970. The park was bought by then owner of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, Art Modell, in 1970.
