MARY CEMETERY What is now known as St. Mary Cemetery, is located on Hughes Cemetery Road near the towns of Avalon, Forreston and Italy (Ellis County), Texas, dates back to at least 1851. The burial ground is shown on a county map dated 1861 and was a part of the Tarrant Plantation, owned by General Edward H. Tarrant, the person for whom Tarrant County, Texas, is named. The 1870 United States Federal Census shows the area encompassing the St. Mary Community as Ellis County, Texas, Waxahachie - Chambers Creek Post Office. As late as 1940, census records the St. Mary Community as having a school with a teacher in residence nearby. As further verification, a photograph exists from the early 1930s with images of a group of students with their teacher whose family owned a nearby farm. On March 24, 2012, family members who went to the cemetery as a part of quarterly maintenance reported that someone had encroached upon the burial grounds, desecrating the oldest portion of the cemetery on the west and north sides by removing mature trees and foliage. It appeared, from visible tracks in the soil, that some type of excavator had been used to create a road from Hughes Cemetery Road through the cemetery to the west, taking out gravestones - some that had been there for more than a century -along with the vegetation. Grave memorabilia were found within and north of the newly constructed road. Graves lay underneath the road and the topography of the entire west side of the cemetery had be compromised. At least three piles of trees, foliage and grave markers were viewed in a western field.   01:11:00Stephanie Hill Williamsnoslavery,slavery in America,black graveyards in America,Black HistoryGreed has taken over this country and is destroying our heritages.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2015/07/30/origins-of-ideas-on-love-and-loss--general-psychology-lesson-1Relationshipshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2015/07/30/origins-of-ideas-on-love-and-loss--general-psychology-lesson-1/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2015/07/30/origins-of-ideas-on-love-and-loss--general-psychology-lesson-1Thu, 30 Jul 2015 23:30:00 GMTOrigins of Ideas on Love and Loss - General Psychology Lesson #1Attachment can be defined as an emotional connection to someone, feelings of security in the person’s presence, and protest on separation from this attached person (Stroebe, M.S. & Archer, J., 2013).  An attachment is an emotional connection to someone such as a child to his or her mother.  This need for attachment is a fundamental part of their human experience as periods of separation cause anxiety, but the attachment serves a biological purpose and increases the infant’s chances of survival.   Taken from: American Psychological Association Review of General Psychology Vol. 17, No. 1, March, 2013 00:32:00Stephanie Hill Williamsnopsychology,general psychology,adolescence,childhood psychology,lovePsychological attachments begin at a young age and the effects influence the way we react to love and loss.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2015/07/19/he-gives-us-simply-loveChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2015/07/19/he-gives-us-simply-love/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2015/07/19/he-gives-us-simply-loveSun, 19 Jul 2015 23:00:00 GMTHe gives us "Simply Love"As I think about all the things God gives to us such as favor, material things, peace, patience, etc., He said the greatest of these is "Love".  God's love covers it all!

They enjoy their children and grandchildren, as well as traveling when they have the chance.  She's been on several blog-talk radio shows and the purpose for my interest is to make the public aware of the signs of child sexual abuse. My story deals with these signs, along with those of a perpetrator; and it is written under fiction but reads more like faction. I've had wonderful reviews on my story, and would love to be a part of the show to enlighten all listeners on what to watch for.

Shana believes that if by sharing her journey as a domestic violence survivor reaches at least one woman that is in an abusive relationship, her job is done. Shana holds a BA in Psychology and a M.Ed. concentrated in Counseling, so when she’s not in the classroom educating students, she is volunteering her time to help women find their voice. Shana was a Life Coach and a Relationship columnist in the Houston area, but finds her current work directly with domestic violence victims the most rewarding. Being a survivor of domestic violence herself, Shana is able to understand and relate to where these women are coming from, what they went through and the challenges they may face ahead. What Shana feels is most important for every victim of domestic violence to know is that they do have value and are worthy of the best that life has to offer. All it takes is that first step! If you can change your mind…you can change your life! She also wants to encourage those that know of or may suspect that someone is in a domestic violence situation to be their voice until they can find their own. Don’t let domestic violence go unreported. A very bad situation can turn into a fatal one in a matter of seconds. Shana currently resides in California with her daughter Christian. She teaches Psychology at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, CA, and she expects to release her first self-help book by the end of 2014. Shana also recently launched her YouTube channel, “Life Lessons with Shana Vonn”, in hopes of helping millions navigate through life’s peaks and valleys. 00:34:00Stephanie Hill WilliamsnoWomen,domestic violence,psychology,psychology careers,psychotherapyShana Vonn has been a supporter of victims of Domestic Violence for over 10 years, volunteering   and speaking with women affiliated with the Houston Area Womenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2014/10/14/velora-mansfield-anderson-a-breast-cancer-survivorWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2014/10/14/velora-mansfield-anderson-a-breast-cancer-survivor/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/equippedtoserve/2014/10/14/velora-mansfield-anderson-a-breast-cancer-survivorTue, 14 Oct 2014 23:30:00 GMTVelora Mansfield Anderson-A Breast Cancer SurvivorDuring the month of October, we will be focusing on Women; whether in a former domestic violence situation or a breast cancer survivor!  Thank God for our strong Women of God and what God is still able to do through them!

Approximately 150 girls ages 10 - 17 attended the first V.S.B.C Summer Program. Mrs. Anderson and a few area professionals provided instructions for the girls in a classroom setting. Since then, V.S.B.C. has added classes to address the total individual growth for each participant. Classes such as public speaking, written communication, interviewing skills, skin care, nutrition, critical thinking & problem solving, goal setting, etc., have been added to the curriculum each year to further enhance the personal growth of each girl. Since its inception, over 1400 girls have enrolled and participated in the program.
