If you’re looking for a way to help the flood victims in NC but you’re far away and can’t get on the ground or deliver supplies, may I humbly suggest donating a few dollars to Paul and Photini. I’ve known them for years and our daughters are best friends.

@zoomertea That’s a young person’s notion for sure. I’m going to be blunt. When my mom was sick my dad had to change her colostomy bag. As she was dying, as he held her hand, she was vomiting bile. Marriage isn’t for the squeamish. Folks need to suck it up. It gets worse than unwashed hair.

GM Appalachia! This is the Lords day! It’s been a week and two days since Helene tried to take us down but we are still standing! Christ is in our midst and Appalachia don’t quit! 💪

Just a few days before a massive rain storm hit us the day before Hurricane Helen hit us, I took this picture from my porch. It was the most chem trails I have ever seen in my four years living in this house.

When something as large as Helene hits you can’t save everybody and it feels overwhelming. This is a good reminder as to why you should be part of a close and tight knit community. It will narrow your focus and make you actually helpful if you know what your priorities are. And

Just learned the decision has been made to NOT send the State Guard to Greenville to help with relief efforts!

GM Appalachia! I know for many of us it doesn’t feel like a “good” morning. I’m praying for everyone but the great thing is WE are Appalachia and there’s no better place to be when the chips are down 💪

Waking up to a weird reality today. My immediate town and neighborhood are fine but there’s so much damaged and lost all around us. Roads are out and we are cut off from loved ones. Surreal.

Doing some family research and am amazed at how long my people have been in these hills. My word! 1630! 400 years! I’m sorry but I’m a Native American. At which point are you native to a land? 400 years seems long enough to me.

Noticing something - those of us who live in the disaster-stricken area are extremely tired today. The adrenaline has worn off and exhaustion is mingling with grief. Please pray for our endurance.

@LibertyHangout I live in the Appalachias -one of the fullest & richest cultures on earth. That's not just my opinion, that's according to anthropologists. Our language, our dress, our cabin style, our food, our agriculture, our music, our dance. America has many rich, regional cultures.

GM Appalachia! It’s another “smookey” October morning. We are praying for all the rescue workers, lineman and medical staff this weekend. 🙏 Miracles are coming!
