My journal and blog
My name is Billie Gail Stanley-Lackey-Turknett. I am a Christian fiction writer and I write poetry. I am currently working on two books. One called My Brother's Keeper about three brothers back in the western days that struggle to make it through their own personal journey and helping their mother through her own struggles as well. Their dad is lost in the war and another man is plotting to steal their ranch and their mother.

The other about a lady that has been put through hell during her childhood and through her first marriage. She accepts Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior but has to learn to forgive her abusers fully and completely.I hope the book's title will remain "Forgiven" but, you know how some places are. They like to change the titles.

I am a member of The East Texas Writers Guild and I have been able to meet writers and read their work. I can't wait to be in that minority one day.


The song below is one of my all time favorites because of all the changes I have gone through with my sons. I love them heart and soul. Some changes were good and some weren't. I don't regret a second of it all though.
{link:<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/A6i1ywioIm0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>}

I am a Sinner saved by His mercy and grace. I am married to Bobby Turknett. I live in the tiny town of Slocum, TX. I have three sons. Marshall Lackey, Otis (Odie) Lackey III who is married to Courtney Bohannon-Lackey and they have one son, Kason, and one son on the way, Tucker. Then there is Cheyenne Lackey who is married to Danielle Willeford-Lackey and they have one daughter, Abbigail. I have two brothers (one passed away) Bobby and George Stanley II who is married to Rebekah Stanley and they have four kids together George Stanley III, Madison Stanley, Matthew Pendley, and Nate Stanley. My sister, Kimberley Stanley-Bailey lives in Michigan with her husband, Kevin Bailey. They have three daughters together. Jessica Stanley-Robbins, Robin Bailey, and Casey Bailey. I have a wonderful Mom, Susan Gail Lamb-Stanley-Lawhon and a great stepfather, Briggs (Skip) Lawhon.

I attend Evangelistic Temple in Palestine, TX and I have a ministry called Assisted Living and Nursing Home Readers program where I go into Assisted living centers and nursing homes and read to patients. I believe in paying it forward. These unique people did so much for us in this country and we owe them something for that.

I am a poet but, I have a lot to learn and a lot of growing to do. I am studying several books and watching a lot of youtube videos to get a grasp on what it takes to write right. I also joined this site to learn all I could about writing and it has been a struggle learning how to get through this site but, I am sure I'll get it all down soon.

Everyone here has been so helpful and I am grateful. I hope that I can manage to become half the writer some of the people here are. I will feel accomplished if I am able to do just that with my writing.

Thank you for reading and I hope you will read more in the future.

Prompt: Write anything you want using this words clown, discredit, small, butter, tempt, towering , mouse, stir

I went down to the court house to discredit a small butter maker. He stood towering over me, the clown, until a mouse came out of it's little house that all of our yelling must have stirred it from it's slumber and scared the towering clown away. I never knew such manly men could scream like that or drop their cases that fast over a little mouse.

Prompt: Tell us about a time when you completely lost track of time. Does it happen often or hardly at all?
It happens all of the time. Just the other day I started some beans and ham hocks and got on WDC. I kept checking them like I was supposed to then I got a little carried away and forgot about them and they burned. This is commonplace with me. I do this stuff all of the time.

I used to say to my children that each of us has a disability, that no one is perfect. Some of the most compelling and enduring stories are often about those who rise above their limitations. Share with us how you work within the confines of your own disability or someone in your family each day and manage to thrive.

My son, Cheyenne, is my hero. He was stuck down with bacterial mendengitis when he was six months old and it was horrible. We had to all be given medication, but he spent fifteen days in the Baby ICU hooked up to wires and all such other stuff. We had to gown up to see him and wear a mask, so he was not even aware of who we were. He spent about a month total in the hospital, I think, and then they released him. Only when he was a little older did we find out there was more wrong with him.

Prompt: Recall an old childhood photo. Narrate the events that led up to that moment that photo was taken.

My parents bought land out in the country and we wanted a well put on it, so we started digging. I think I did most of the digging most days. My mom popped off a couple of shots of me down in the well with me looking up. It was not a glamorous shot by no means, but it was a funny one that always took us back to those early days of starting the farm. I don't have the photo now. I am not sure who does really. My family are not the kind for sharing photos. They hoard them and steal them from you. My sister stole some of my wedding photos and my other family photos. I have to hide certain things when she comes around because of her doing things like that. I can't afford to lose too many more photos to her. I have tons of film negatives, but going through them all will be pure hell if you ask me.

Prompt: Activists are campaigning to remove a color from the rainbow. Which color? What's their argument?

I hope this is just a "for fun" prompt because it can't be done. I looked this up and can't find anything on the subject anywhere so, it just tells me that it is a "just for fun prompt". God created the rainbow as a covenant with man and a promise that He would never again destroy the world with water. No man can remove the rainbow or petition God enough to make him remove a color from the rainbow. God never goes back on His promises.

Prompt: You take a big bite of a juicy burger (veggie or meat) and as you're chewing, you feel a long strand of hair entwined in the patty. What happens next?


I slowly spit the food back out onto my plate and signal for my waiter or waitress. I would show them the hair and ask for a replacement, or my money back, or, the next meal for free. Depending on my appetite I'd eat it then or wait until another visit.

That would have to be Pepe L'e pue (don't know if I spelled that right), but it is the skunk that thought his crap didn't stink when it came to females. That would be female cats, skunks, squirrels, chipmunks, or any other skunk like critter.

"Simply telling people that hard work is more important than genetics causes positive changes in the brain and may make them willing to try harder, a study shows. "Giving people messages that encourage learning and motivation may promote more efficient performance," said the lead investigator. "In contrast, telling people that intelligence is genetically fixed may inadvertently hamper learning."

My question to you is: Do you believe it is that simple to improve the way a person approaches learning? I am interested in what you think about the study done by Michigan State University. Did anyone encourage you in the method they are suggesting?

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/09/140903105757.htm


Lyn

I was encouraged In such a way some teachers and it paid off. I was able to learn more and more. I was at the top of which ever class I chose to be at and I found that I caught on to things really well up until I had a mini stroke when I was twenty one. After that, I was not able to remember things anymore or learn things like I use to be able to. I love this new research they are doing at Michigan State University and I am all for it. I would encourage anyone I know to become apart of this movement.

Prompt: Robert Frost said, “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
Do you agree with this quote? Have you ever been surprised while writing?

I agree that if the writer is not moved by his piece then his reader will not be moved by it either. If the writer doesn't surprise herself while writing her piece she will not surprise her writer. We are all human and need to use our humanness to write so we can connect with each other on a more personal level.

LISTERS, remember to include your list of 14 items linked in some way to your Blog entry.

Yes, in one of those nice log homes in the wilds of Alaska, but I'd need the money to live on as well. Alaska isn't for the faint of hear and you are then you better have some money. Sine I am a writer, I need the moola. My house would face the mountains, have five bedrooms, four baths, plenty of land for hunting, a killer kitchen (not sure why though. I hate to cook), a game room, a smoke house, a fish house, and it will be of natural wood in color with a green metal roof. It will be heated by wood and central heat and air. It will have a wrap around deck, a hot tub, and a bar b que area. I'm not asking for much really since I'm only dreaming.

Prompt: A unicorn, dragon, and pegasus walked into an Inn/Bar/Pub.... What happened?

They all sit around telling stories of these things called men that are suppose to exist. These men can even ride specimens such as themselves if given the chance. They make promises they don't keep and are abusive to their own kind. Some are kind or so it is told, but their kind had to be careful not to ever come into contact with men. It was just too dangerous. If ever caught they would be kept in a lab and made to be an experiment for the rest of their lives.

It was nice to hear from Earl today...glad to know he's alright and doing well. Here's your prompt for Wednesday...

What are your thoughts on climate change? How concerned about it are you, and do you think its effects will be felt dramatically in your lifetime?

I think it is over rated. I don't think we or our children will feel the effects of climate change in our life time. There are test taken by both sides and they come up with conflicting information and then one will say the other is lying and being paid to lie and the other will say the say for the other group. It is just confusing and I get tired of all of it and just change the channel. If they let people like me tag along on these expeditions, I'd do it in a heartbeat to be able to say that they were not cheating. That I saw it all.

Prompt: Think back on the month of August 2014. Find a moment, one moment, that stands out in your memory - be it good, bad, or a little bit of both. Share it with us.

It was August 6th around 11 A.M. I just was able to hold my third grandchild in my arms. My little Tucker Wayne Lackey. I was overjoyed and filled with love. A love that a grandmother fills when she holds her grandson in her arms for the first time. You can imagine it, can't you? It is an all-consuming kind of love. An overwhelming feeling of pure joy that fills your soul at that moment and it is impossible to describe. Your entire soul feels inspired to sing halleluiah, to dance to a melody that has you dancing on clouds. It is like falling in love for the first time, but it is a true forever love. Not a love that will end in divorce. It is an unconditional kind of love.

Prompt: David Gerrold says," Half of being smart is knowing what you are dumb at." Do you agree or disagree"

I totally agree with this statement. I focus my writing on facts that I know and when I don't know them, I look them up by researching them or going to the sources. I try to enhance my writing with my knowledge and avoid the unknowns, but sometimes you just can't do that. Sometimes you just have to talk about or write about something you know little to nothing about. So, research is your best option and doing it ahead of time is your best bet if you know about it ahead of time.

Labor Day - Let the following quote inspire you to write something labor (any type of labor you want) or Labor Day.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
When you mention labor to a woman the first thing they think of is childbirth. That is what I thought of and that is what I will talk about. I don't have unusual childbirths to tell you about or spectacular childbirths to talk about. They are ordinary births, but they ended with unusually spectacular young men being born. I say that because they are my sons and because I am a bit bias.

With my first son, I was in labor with him for around thirty six hours and it was long hard labor. The doctor finally got as tired as I was and called for a epidural and broke my water. About thirty minutes later Marshall Ray was born. My first born son and he lives up to that first born lineage to this day. You know, that which says the first born children are more grown up and a little more bossy than the rest of them are. Well, it is true.

With my second son, I was nine months gone and working like a slave in a three hundred acre garden. I had been hoeing all day long and after that I had to come home and tend to a mess of wild pigs, a sorry husband, a ton of fighting chickens, and my son that I had been tending to all day long anyway. Before I could start supper though, I had to hang a clothes line so I could hang out that days washing. I knew I was in labor while I was hoeing, but I didn't want to do anything about it until I was farther along because I didn't want another repeat of being at the hospital for all those hours like last time.

We went to bed that night and the pains just got worse and worse. I finally had to tell my husband that it was time to go. We barely made it to the hospital. He was born thirty minutes after we got there, but not before the doctor told us he was dead and had told my family that as well. He was born dead, but the nurses and the doctor worked on him and for seven minutes there was nothing, but by the grace of God he finally began to breathe on his own. When I was pushing they had to help me by getting on top of me and my husband slapped me because I was not focused enough for them. I was in a lot of pain because the baby was not positioned right. The cord was around his throat and he was clinically dead. Aren't miracles something? To see them with your own eyes is something else entirely. By the way his name is Otis Earl the 3rd and we call him Odie.

My youngest was my easiest to have. We didn't want to know what we were having and I carried him in a different way than I did his brothers and I was sure I was having a girl. Everyone was sure of it and all of the old wives tales tests proved wrong. I learned early to wait until the last possible second to go to the hospital and ask for something for the pain as soon as you can. I checked with my doctor early and he informed me that I had to have a camera to take photos or he would not deliver the baby. We were like "sure" and then decided to not bring the camera. Well, I walked until I dilated a nine and went to the hospital. I asked for something for the pain and when the doctor got there he asked for the camera. We didn't have it. He refused to deliver the baby unless someone would run across the street and buy one from the convenience store. So, my mother-n-law ran after one and soon arrived with it in hand. The doctor took it and placed it in a nurses hand. I barely remember the birth due to the medication, but I still have those pictures and let me tell you they are rated XXX. You never want anyone getting their hands on them. I had a special doctor for a special kid. My sons name is Cheyenne Neil.

Monday's prompt: "A life - Its the stuff that happens while you wait for moments that never come. Comment, expound, elaborate, reiterate or contemplate.

I started writing poetry in my twenties and thought that I'd have a book by the end of my twenties because thirty was old. Then when I turned thirty I'd have the book by the time I turned forty, but then I was diagnosed bipolar and my life changed. My kids grew up and I became a grandmother. I began writing a book about a year ago, but life keeps happening and the book has stayed on my computer unfinished. Will I ever have my dream? Will I ever have that book of poems that I first began this dream with? All the while life happened to me, around me, to those around me. I feel a little lost and sad. I feel nostalgic. I feel useless and stupid at times. I see everyone on here succeeding and being successful and I am still back at twenty while living at forty four. I work at it, but I am getting no where.

Potty training.
I baby sit my grandson a lot and with that come potty training him. He has a new baby brother and since the birth of his new baby brother he has reverted to his old habits of peeing all over himself and the house and now a new habit of playing in his poop and smearing it all over the house. I can understand why his mom would want to put him back in diapers and forget about potty training, but is that a good idea? I can't get him to use the potty here either with him away from baby brother, so what is one to do? I don't remember going through all of this when I was potty training my three sons, but I must have. I'd be happy to get some of y'all's opinions on the matter.

Prompt: An admired mentor asks for help covering up a scandal. Did she say scandal? What is it?

My admired mentor stole gift points from one of her auctions. Instead of giving all of the gift points to the groups that were suppose to get them so, she asked me to take the blame since I was new saying that I just messed up and sent them to the wrong person. She even added me to the group as a high member so I had authority to move the gift points around and give them out. I would not want to be put in a situation like this because I have a hard time saying no to people that I really like and even those I don't. Anyway, she wanted me to do it because she has worked all these years on WDC to become who she is on here and she stood to lose it all if they chose to disapline her and they should. I have to say no and not take the blame because she would just do it again in the future if she got away with it now. I am sure she has done it in the past and not got caught.

“If sinners be damned, at least let the leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish without arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unsprayed for.”

Prompt: I know that keeping a promise is important to all of us, but have you ever given your word to someone but then didn't follow through? Why?

Yes I have. I didn't keep my word because I didn't get the correct set of circumstances or facts. I was misled into believing she was being abused when she was being the abuser so, I helped him to escape her. I believe in keeping your word. It is a word of honor and I believe your value as a person goes down a bit every time they don't keep their word of honor, but when they have been duped, like I was, you have every right to walk away.

Prompt: Things you have done that you thought you could never do.

Go to college for one. I never thought that would happen. I didn't finish, but I went and got halfway through before my bipolar got too bad and I had to stop. I loved every minute of it as well.

Divorce my first husband. He was abusive and I was clearly afraid of his and his family. After all they had already kidnapped my children from me several times and the next time I was sure I'd never see them again because they have an uncle that is living in Louisiana and has been for the past thirty years and Texas can't touch him. Funny the way that works isn't it.


Quit smoking again. I want to pick it back up again every day. I crave it every day. I smoke vapor cigarettes now and really like them. They take the edge off. I started smoking at twelve and smoked until I was thirty five. I then stopped for a few years and then picked them back up. I have been quit for about two years now and hope to never go back. I watched my dad die a slow and agonizing death of lung cancer. It was gruesome and horrible. I never want to go through it again and definitely not personally.

Prompt: Blue, rain, bridge, driving, insect, tree ,sign, warning, chase silver Use these words in today's prompt any way you would like.

Driving in the pouring rain in my blue and silver Dodge truck, we noticed a youngest stealing a warning sign stating the bridge was out, so I jumped out of the truck and gave chase. He was not hard to find. He was laying in a heap at the bottom of a ravine with his leg broken and wrapped around a tree. I picked him up out of the ravine and helped him to my truck. I put the sign back before taking the young man to the hospital where he was quickly mended.

Prompt: Write about forgiveness why it is important to you.

I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. Luke 15:7

Why do you question thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven', or to say 'Rise, take up your pallet and walk'? Mark 2:8-9

Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemes they utter: but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin. Mark 3:28-29

Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Luke 24:46-47

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses neither will your father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15
