“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.”
Philippians 3:20-21
For some reason, it is harder to get up and moving for the first few days on daylight saving time. Does it take you a few days to adjust?

“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

Our hearts go out to so many who have suffered loss and devastation during recent flooding. This incredible photo is a wonderful reminder that God is Sovereign and that because of the Cross, we can have victory regardless of earthly circumstances ! Photo courtesy of Zack Zimmerman.

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
Psalms 4:8
Hello dear friends! I know a lot of times, I start off a post with a report of our ever-changing weather here in the Appalachian Foothills. We are fortunate to be able to experience all four seasons in the South…and sometimes it seems like we can experience all four within the same week! Just this month, we have had bone chilling temps in the teens, followed by sunny skies and a high of 78. Last week, it was rainy and gloomy everyday, so when rain stopped and the sun decided to come out on Sunday and Monday, it was very welcomed!
But the rain we had last week wasn’t just your typical week of rain…it has brought about record setting water levels here in our county and in surrounding areas. The weather around us has been a lot more than small talk. We are under a flood warning until Friday. The Coosa River is slightly above flood stage level as of Monday morning and is expected to finally fall below flood stage on Friday morning according to our local EMA. However, with more rain in the forecast, that could change. Weiss Lake, which is near our home, has major flooding with schools closed. The lake is a huge recreational area with summer homes lining its banks. And this is just here in our area. I know that the weather across the nation has been difficult with record rainfall and heavy snow. My prayers and thoughts continue for all those affected. To some, it may just be another day of rain or snow, but to others, it is life altering.
Our son was contacted by the EMA to take some drone footage last Friday. Our very popular Noccalula Falls has been roaring with all of the rains! Be sure to check out more photos and videos on his Facebook page.
