Personal Narrative: The Mccracken Family

Around 1982, the most terrifying, yet beautiful situation happened in the Allred family. The divorce of my father’s parents, Bobby Gene Allred and Debra Dixon Allred, split one family into two. Later in 1997, Bobby Lynn Allred and Gana Janelle Beesinger were married. This beautiful ceremony took three families and combined them all into a chaotic masterpiece. Most people get the privilege of two family get togethers, but I get that advantage plus one. For me, food, fellowship, and memories is what makes life jump for joy.

This past May, my Grandpa went home to the Lord. Right after the funeral, Grandma received a mail addressed to her. It was a surprise stuffed dog (Homer) from the Habitat for Humanity where Grandpa donated to them. Since then, Grandma have been looking for the exact same one. Today, I introduce the newest member of the Sochacki family--Charlie (tentative name), 8 weeks old, and he is a Cavachon. Already a bundle of joy to all the family!

The Festival return to Greenfield, MA after being in Turner Fall, MA for a couple of years. I had never been in the Art Block, but found one of their stages The Wheelhouse one to be inmate setting like you what you might find in a coffeehouse. I heard Julia Cira sing on that stage and she had a beautiful voice. One that I like much better than Rosie Porter. It's just a good one to have for ballads. Its a strong one. She plays an electric guitar as well as sings. She was accommodate by a man on drum set and another young woman on an electric guitar. That woman played it well. I listen to her sing a couple of songs and she sang beautifully each time. According to her, They were doing full on rock songs and they sound like very nice quality

Before asking yourself “who am I?” Ask yourself “how did I come to be?” My parents Greg and Cathy Frangipane have been a huge help through my life. I got an opportunity to sit down and interview each of them about their life and go to hear some exciting stories. Learning about my parents I can see a bunch of similarities with me and each of my parents.

Stories told by a grandfather or an great aunt give a family its character, but no matter how much information you learn, there is always more; there are more adventures and more tragedy and more lessons. Hearing the stories of a relative’s experiences as a child, at high school, or how they raised their first child brings a family one step closer to that person and their family’s history. It is important to talk to family members and to record the stories of older relatives before they die and their stories die with them. The stories of the Coss-McDaniel family range from the humor of my dad being born in a bathtub to the tragedy of my Grandma Coss becoming paralyzed when my mother was only twelve.

Since every area of the created world is tainted by sin, Wolters segues into the his next chapter of redemption by insisting on how the broad scope of creation cries out for redemption of the coming of the kingdom of God. He introduces the concept of redemption being a cosmic restoration of the whole creation through two main points. The first main point is that when redemption is seen as restoration, this means that God does not intend to transform creation into a supernaturally brand new phenomenon, but rather return order and structure back to what it had originally been in the beginning. Wolters digs into a linguistic exploration of how the prefix “re-“ is used in words like redeemed, restored, recreated, renewed, and reconciled to show that this means that God intends to salvage rather than abandon the fallen creation. The second introductory point Wolters makes is in regards to the holistic effect of restoration.

The Allgood family is hung on the city center stage, where they are about to be executed. The one who is the one comes and begins the exaction by vaporizing Elizabeth Allgood and Benjamin Allgood. But then he stops and listens to the chanting and cheering of the citizens before continuing. Before he can continue Whitford and Wisteria Allgood are dropped through an opening in the stage which quickly closes up again. Whitford and Wisteria split up so they can get away faster and escape there execution.

At a very early age I felt called to heal people, and the calling has not changed. That same calling became intensified when I was ten years old, I was brought to Emory Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta where I was diagnosed with type one diabetes. Over the course of a week, I was taught how to live a new way of life with my diagnosis. People have the tendency to feel sympathetic or sorry towards a teenage girl living with an incurable autoimmune disease; however, from the moment I was diagnosed I knew God was going to use it to shape my future as a way to glorify him. Over the course of a week, it was inherently noticeable that the professionals spending time with the patients were the nurses on the floor, not the physicians or the physician’s

Others say the kingdom of God is coming at the end of time when Christ comes back to establish His kingdom on earth. Yet, Jesus said that the kingdom had come when he preached. God lives outside of time. God is. In the Old Testament, God said, “I Am”. Jesus is sovereign and reigns in the past, present, and future. I believe that all three views of the kingdom of God are valid, though it is all because of the first view of Christ Himself. Christ was, is, and is to be. Christ was among us, He lives within us and we consume Him internally when partaking of the Eucharist, and He lives in the Church in the Real Presence of the Eucharist. The kingdom of God is without borders and is a spiritual kingdom. It preaches

Honestly, I have had a pretty easy life. I have a house that I feel safe in, there is always food on the table, and my parents spoil me with unnecessary things. I cannot pinpoint many times in my life where I have faced adversity, but when I do face hardships, they affect me a great deal. Currently, my neighbors are moving away, and for a long time, I struggled with this realization. I am able to accept my neighbors’ move by the help of my family and God.

It was a normal November day for Melissa’s family, the air was cool and crisp. Leaves rested on the ground and crunched as Melissa climbed into her car. Inside, there was a great tension. Her brother was supposed to be at school but instead, he was in the front seat. This was in 2013 and from that point on her life changed forever. As her mom was driving out of the car line she tells Melissa that her dad has done something. She continues telling her how her dad locked her in the bathroom at the bakery and put his arms around her neck. He squeezed very hard and Melissa’s mom even thought she was going to die. Shocked, her first instinct was to pick up Melissa’s brother so they could go together to talk to the police. Later, as Melissa was going

There are so many people that are special in my life but some one that stands out like the one bright star in the midnight sky is my cousin, Caeley. There are many people I would write about but since Caeley and I are the same age and create this special bond that brings us so close together.

The Kingdom may exist in the individual human heart, in groups, in institutions, and in nature. The Kingdom of God is as broad and as overarching as the presence of God which renews and transforms and recreates everything touched by it.

I think I could say I have a pretty tight-knit family. Only immediate family though, like my mom and siblings. I grew up in Fairview Heights until I was five with a brother and two sisters. I was the youngest out of all of them and always got picked on, but as we all have grown up we get closer and closer.
