Barbara Presnell "Kentucky floods: the mountains will not forget you"
Barbara Presnell writes “To live in the mountains in southeastern Kentucky is to live at nature’s mercy. Always. It’s something the people don’t forget, not for a single day, because the trees, the air, the wildlife, the water, and more remind inhabitants that they are there by the grace of those trees, that air. They know that they are not in charge, but something bigger, more powerful is. That something is the mountain, a living, breathing force.”

Blessed are those who thirst for Righteousness
As believers if we are left to feed our own righteousness, we will starve, but it’s only when we seek God and depend on him to fill us with his righteousness, only then will we be totally satisfied.
The more we seek the Kingdom of God, the more we will be filled by his goodness.
Blessed are those who thirst for righteousness.
