GRITS
God Reigns In The South

Book Cover & Preview Text
This book started out a as a collection of e-mails I sent to my family and friends from time to time. They were all signed, “Love, Grits”, the name given to me by my grandchildren, short for “Granny Grits.” I felt it appropriate to keep them as true to the originals as I could. When I compiled the devotions into this book, and was thinking of a title, I realized that Grits spelled out God Reigns in the South and knew that had to be the title. I am sure that was a little divine intervention. I also had taken many photographs (a love of mine) that amazingly coincided with the themes of many of the stories, so I decided to include them also. I never imagined that the pictures and stories would come together to tell a story but God had a plan all along and therefore the creation of “Grits, God Reigns in the South.”
This book of devotions developed because of the love and encouragement of my friends and family. I thank them all for the love and happiness they give to me each day and especially my husband for his patience, his support for this project, and his understanding as I spent many hours at the computer. I also cannot possibly thank my special friends Beth Renken and John (Deacon) Hope who proof read and corrected my many mistakes.
The original goal of this project was to try and strengthen the faith of my family and friends, but in the end, it was actually my own faith that was renewed and strengthened. I pray that as you read this book, your faith will be strengthened, you will find comfort in times of need, and that you will find joy in the world all around you.
Read and Enjoy.

They have three children, Milo, Ryan and Hope and three grandchildren, River, Addie and Emory, and all still live on Johns Island.
She is an active member of St Johns Episcopal Church and teaches the children’s Sunday School. She was a former school teacher and now works at family boat and car dealerships.
