Dollywood Parade to Kickoff Opening of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

By Darryl Payne

Dolly Parton is Sevier County’s favorite daughter. Her life began deep in the Smoky Mountains and her humble beginnings didn’t stop her from the climb to stardom that she has today. Many of her best songs echo the hardships and love she has for this area.

Dolly Parton has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Nashville Star Walk. She has 25 songs that reached number one on the Billboard country charts, with 110 charted singles and 41 Top 10 albums, which is an achievement to be very proud of. This talented entertainer has also gone on to star on the silver screen in movies such as; The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Straight Talk, Steel Magnolias, Nine to Five and Rhinestone. In 1999, Dolly Parton was given the highest of honors and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Yet all this success hasn’t taken the small-town girl out of the talented singer. Every year, Dolly Parton returns to the city of her birth to grand marshal the DollyWood Parade that celebrates the season opening of her theme parks; DollyWood and DollyWood Splash Country.

Every year locals and visitors alike line the main parkway of Pigeon Forge to watch the festive procession, wanting to get a glimpse of the country singer that has retained a heart of gold. To some she is a world-renowned star, and to some she is a girl they went to high school with. Adults and children both will be bedazzled by the festive floats done by local businesses and civic groups and talented local entertainers, as well as skilled marching bands from area high schools. The marching bands are the best of the best, as they are judged for their performance in the parade for the Pigeon Forge Music Festival.

Annually, an estimated 60,000 people gather to watch the DollyWood parade. For some it is a rite of spring, traveling from across the nation with their families to visit all this area has to offer. For some the parade comes as a pleasant surprise, having no idea that they had chosen to visit during such a time. There are numerous shops and amusements to duck into before and after the parade and Pigeon Forge boasts a vast array of restaurants to cool your heels at with your family. Spring into Pigeon Forge, TN and see all the Smoky Mountains has to offer.

Wonderful Birthday Party Ideas For Young Boys

If your son is under the age of 13, but is past the days of Jungle Safari and Elmo themed birthday parties, you probably feel like you’ve exhausted all your options for throwing a fun birthday party that he and all his friends will enjoy. Well, have no fear! Here is a list of some great birthday party ideas for your boy that won’t break the bank and will guarantee a fun time.

  1. Sports Themed Party. Is your son into football? Baseball? Soccer? Well, why not center his party on his favorite sport! You could hand-make or buy sports themed invitations. A great idea would be to make invitations that look like tickets to the big game! You could encourage everyone to wear a sports jersey of their favorite professional player or just the jersey they wear when they play. Plan on serving great game day foods like pigs-in-a-blanket, pizza, and chips and dip. Plan on serving a cake that looks like a football/baseball/soccer field or that is in the shape of the ball used for your son’s favorite sport.
  2. Xtreme Sports Party. If your son is into skateboarding, rollerblading, motocross, or BMX biking, then you should consider throwing a party centered on his favorite extreme sport. You may even want to call around and see if there will be any motocross or skateboarding competitions around your area that you could have the guests and your son attend to start out. You could serve high-energy foods for such a high-energy sport such as granola bars, trail mix, Gatorade or sports water, and maybe even some sub sandwiches from your local sandwich shop. Be sure to purchase or make a cake that goes with the theme and don’t be afraid to get creative.
  3. Comic Book Heroes Costume Party. If your son is still into comic book heroes such as Batman, Spiderman, or Iron Man, you should throw a comic book hero costume party! You could pretend like your hosting a superhero business conference where your son is being honored for all he has done for the citizens in your area. You can encourage all his friends to dress up like their favorite superhero and maybe arrange for a showing of your sons favorite superhero movie at a local theater. This is another theme where you can get creative with the invitations, cake, and decorations.
  4. 3, 2, 1, Action! Birthday Party. For the aspiring actor in your family, a drama-themed birthday party may be just the key! Maybe you could arrange for your local high school drama club to come and put on a few skits or what about dividing the kids up into teams and letting them act out their own skits in front of your video camera. This birthday party theme will allow all the guests to get involved and if you tape it, you will have some great memories for many years to come.  Maybe you could have the cake look like a clapperboard and have a special chair made for your son that says “Director” or “It’s My Birthday!” Just get creative and have a good time.

The Wounds Of Jesus A sermon on John 20:19-29

Welcome to the first Sunday after Easter - a day often referred to in ecclesiastical circles as ‘low Sunday', for reasons that are surely too obvious to require explanation.

Today shares the title of ‘low Sunday' with the first Sunday after Christmas - again for reasons too obvious to bear repeating.

And this year at this time we do as we do every year on this low Sunday - we hear the story of Doubting Thomas again.

Most stories in the Bible are read every three years in accordance with the cycle of readings spelt out in our lectionary.  This story though is scheduled to be read every year, and again for reasons that I presume are obvious.

We love this story. The church universal loves this story. The church throughout history has always loved this story, and we can understand why.  We identify with Thomas in his doubting.  We understand his scepticism, we stand with him in his struggle, we see ourselves in his tornness and in his confusion.

All this makes perfect sense to me, as the need to have a low Sunday makes perfect sense to me, and yet there is one aspect to this story that, to my mind, does not fit with all the obvious good sense of the first Sunday after Easter but which stands out like a sore thumb for me every year when I hear this story repeated, and it is this: why did the resurrected body of Jesus have holes it?!

I'm assuming that you know the story as well as I do.  Forgive me if you don't.  The date was Easter Sunday evening.  The doors were locked where the disciples were out of fear that the authorities who had destroyed Jesus might come looking for them next, and yet somehow it was not the authorities that came crashing in on their private gathering but Jesus Himself - previously dead but now very much alive, and He showed them, we're told, "his hands and his side".

Thomas apparently wasn't with them at that fateful meeting but only heard about Jesus' bizarre appearance to them second hand.  He was understandably sceptical and wanted to see Jesus for himself - expressing a particular interest in seeing the wounded hands and side:  "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my finger into them, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!"

A week passed, and it must have been a long and tense week between Thomas and the rest of the disciples, yet happily Thomas was with the others when Jesus repeated exactly the same stunt again - somehow appearing in the room despite all the doors and latches that should have kept Him out.  And the first thing He does after saying 'G'day' to the group was to show Thomas His hands and His side. "Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side. Stop doubting, but believe."

And I don't know if Thomas stuck his fingers into the nail marks in Jesus' hands, and I don't know whether Thomas thrust his hand in Jesus' side as invited, but what I do know and what is quite clear at every step of the narrative is that Jesus was, in some sense or another, still carrying the wounds of Good Friday in His Easter Sunday body or at least the marks of those wounds, and that bothers me!

Jesus was in His resurrection body.  The body of Jesus had been changed through the experience of death and resurrection.  There is no doubt about that.  As this Gospel passage itself makes clear, the resurrection body of Jesus was not bound by the same earthly limitations as his previous body had been.  The resurrected body of Jesus seemed to be able to come in and out of locked rooms as Jesus appeared and disappeared, and that body evidently looked different, such that Jesus' disciples sometimes at first failed to recognise Him.

That, in itself, is sort of what we might have expected - that the resurrection body would be something of an upgrade to the normal earthly version.

We look for the coming of a better world and Jesus, the Bible tells us, is the ‘first fruits' (a sign) of what is to come (1 Corinthians 15).   As Christ has been raised, so shall we be raised.  As Christ was given a new body, so shall we be given new bodies.  And in that better world, where ‘the earth will be as full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea' and where sorrow and pain give way to joy, our new resurrection bodies find an eternal home, which leads me to wonder though whether, if Jesus is truly our model here, all these resurrection bodies will still carry with them the disfigurements that came to them during their earthly lives?

Maybe that's how we recognise each other in Heaven?  Maybe one day one of you will come up to me and say, "Dave, I'd recognise that broken nose anywhere!" It's possible.

If you're familiar with Homer's Odyssey, you may remember how Ulysses, after he returned from the Trojan war, was unrecognisable even to his own family but how, as the story goes, he was given a bath by the aging nurse, Eurycleia, who recognised him through a scar that he had on his leg.

In truth, it is our scars that identity us to those who know and love us best and, conversely, I suspect that the most significant part of getting to know someone intimately is in getting to know their wounds.  Even so, it is remarkable how the woundedness of Jesus has divided people religiously across space and time.

One of the earliest Christian heresies was ‘Docetism' (from the Latin ‘doceo' meaning ‘to seem').  Docestists believed that Jesus only seemed to be human and that He only appeared to be suffering on the cross.  Jesus, the Son of God, could not really suffer of course.  He could not experience real pain.

Islam, of course, followed in the path of the Docetists (in a sense) by denying that Jesus really suffered and died on the cross.  While Christians claimed that Jesus had suffered in their place, Mohammed claimed that someone else had suffered in Jesus' place, for it just could not be that a prophet like Jesus could suffer and be wounded and die in such a terrible way!

St Paul reflected very similarly, that while the Greeks might have considered the concept of resurrection to be silly, for his fellow Jews the very idea that God's Messiah could suffer and die in such a humiliating fashion was not so much foolish as downright offensive!

Evidently the religious mind struggles with the idea that any Son of God could suffer and be wounded and die such a terrible  death, for it just rails against our entire concept of justice, and yet we know that the Gospels entirely embrace this.

Rather than trying to skirt around the death of Jesus, the Gospel writers assert it boldly.  Rather than deny the brokenness of Jesus, the Apostle Peter goes as far as to say to his congregation "by His wounds you have been healed" (1 Peter 2:24). And even in these sketchy post-resurrection stories where so much is mysterious - where we can't be sure exactly what Jesus looked like or how His body behaved the way it did, one thing is abundantly clear, and that is that the scars of Jesus were still there, and that indeed they were a key point through which His friends were reconciled to Him!

In truth, I do not know why Jesus continued to carry His scars in His resurrection body and I do not know whether this means that all of us will somehow carry our scars into eternity, but what I do know is that there is no way of sanitizing the story of Jesus if we are going to remain true to the Gospels, any more than we can rationalise pain out of the Christian life. We cannot remove the scars of Jesus for there is no Jesus apart from the suffering Jesus, just as there is no resurrection without the cross!

When I was a younger believe I figured that if your life was touched by Jesus you would be instantly and completely healed from head to toe and that all your pains and ailments would be a thing of the past - whether they be physical complaints or addiction problems or a history of emotional abuse - all would be healed.  And I still believe in the healing power of Jesus, though we find, don't we, that even when healing takes place, scars remain - old fears, struggles, memories that won‘t go away - they remain a part of who we are.

Can we be the people we are without those scars?  I don't know. What I do know is that we are broken people.  And even when we have experienced the healing touch of Jesus in our lives we remain broken people.  And it is in our brokenness that we find ourselves reaching out to Jesus, knowing that He has been broken too.

And maybe that's the biggest reason of all as to why we love this story of Thomas so much, even if it might not be so obvious at first.  Perhaps it's not only that we identify with Thomas in his doubts, but even moreso that deep down we, like him, are wounded people yearning to make contact with the wounds of Jesus?

And so on this low Sunday when everything seems so straightforward, let us take a moment to reflect on what is perhaps the greatest miracle of Easter, even if it is not so obvious at first - that He who is risen is the one who was crucified, and (thanks be to God) that the one who was crucified is risen!

Creating A Smart Identity With Your Marketing Tools

Your business cards and print letterheads are the very tools that help you make a good impression for your identity. They are the first tools that will help you build lasting relationships with your clients who will keep you growing and successful in your business. With a little imagination and creativity, you can turn your regular business cards and letterhead printing into effective marketing tools that can keep the mill running no matter the economic environment. Here's how: Identify and establish your identity. This is an essential process if you want to be known in your industry. You have to determine and identify what image you would want to be known by your target clients and customers. Use your graphics and copy in your business cards and print letterheads to show your prospects and clients who you are. As these customized stationery will go with your other marketing tools, keep them as clean and as consistent to your overall theme always. Consider a "logoless logo". One expert marketer suggests that if you don't have the budget to design a custom logo for your business, try doing your logo the logolesss way. This can be done by combining two simple clip arts or graphic images to form one logo symbol. Just remember to choose images that identify well with the message you would want to put across your target readers. The wrong clip art can give a different meaning that might create a bad impression for your business. Always feature the benefits. Taglines and slogans are standards in limited spaces such as that in your business card and letterhead printing. A simple statement that explains what you do and how your business can benefit your . A simple statement that explains what you do and how your business can benefit your target clients can go a long way in keeping your marketing tools working hard even after the first contact is established. Turn your marketing tools into a mini version of your brochure. Just include a headline and brief text on what you do exactly, in addition to your basic contact information. And you will already have a marketing tool that not only introduces you to your target clients, but also provides them with information to encourage them to take your offer. Use your marketing tools to break down the stranger barrier. Of course, this is the first time that your target clients would ever hear of you. It's not surprising that a barrier would be visible when you approach your target clients. Your business card and letterhead printing alone would not be enough to break down the barrier. A personal letter or telephone call can make it easy for your target clients to accept you by the time your marketing tool gets into their hands.

Part 4 of your Free Guide to Building a Website

Even the more advanced coder would blanch at the thought of having to create a music player to embed in a website, and adding a payment solution for a small business or club isn’t exactly a breeze either. So, you’d be right to be wondering how we managed to do both together in a little under five minutes.

The answer of course lies in the library of cool multimedia enhancements that resides within the WebEden website builder. Previous online site construction tools you may have seen might have been limited to some sort of online wizard that allowed you to control the text and maybe images, but WebEden is different. As it uses a complete WYSIWYG interface allowing you to place elements as you might do in a word processor, they have managed to extend its features with all manner of extras that can be embedded in your site and will play on your visitor’s PC without them needing to install any new plugins or software.

Here we go, lets get advanced…

All of the items for your site can be accessed from the same dialog, the File Manager. Go into your website and edit it, and then click on the Files button (or click on the Insert menu and choose File). The file dialog that opens up looks very much like a standard Windows file dialog so you should feel at home.

The first tab is called Library and there is a list of folders down the left. These split the multimedia elements available to you down into categories. The animation category gives you lots of animated sprites that you can place on your page. The list appears in the middle column and there are two sub-folders – double click on these to see the contents. You’ll find that these animations can be placed on top of images or text boxes on your page, so that you can see the image, etc. through it. This is a really useful feature and can really help you to create a website that looks the business!

Audio contains music players and Clipart has a huge number of scalable cartoons – for photos, look in the images folder. Clocks and dates allow you to add realtime, erm, time to your site, while Countdown timers are useful for events pages. There are Functional Tools (see right) and Galleries (see right) as well as Games, Site Counters and Text Effects. The latter allows you to create all manner of animated logos or headings, and by combining a selection of the above elements anyone can create a very impressive site. Careful though, when you make your own website don’t use too many of these, otherwise it can look quite amateurish.

Pick of the extras

Here’s how to use some of the more interactive features WebEden offers.

Audio:

There are different types of players: ones that can play single tracks, multiple tracks or ones that are hard coded to play a built-in track.
