During this thankful and joyful time of the year it’s very
easy to overlook all of the beautiful blessings we Americans have in this
country which is always in motion. I, along with other concerned Americans,
watched hurricane Helene ravish the western mountain communities in North
Carolina. Once the higher elevations became saturated in a thousand-year
deluge, the surface gave way to gravitational pull and sent rushing water with
trees and boulders to obliterate everything in its path. Many people didn’t
survive and many others are now living in tarp covered, damaged buildings and
tents where December temperatures are now dropping below freezing.
I woke up to chilling temperatures this week when a critical
part in my HVAC unit failed. I had become so accustomed to its silent presence
that I no longer thought much about it. And it was also a wakeup call not to
forget all those fellow neighbors in the high country who are living a
nightmare 24/7 and still need all of our assistance right now and for the
months to come!
