    Wow, I can't even recognize it, but I grew up in that big greenish building to the right of the little A-frame red house. It was called the Stonehearth Inn back then. My parents ran a restaurant, gift shop, and then we had rooms to stay in along the river so yeah, that used to be three stories… We used to wait for the bus at that little post office. I'm glad to see it's still standing. My folks just got power in Hendersonville, hopefully it'll spread quickly out to the Gap.

    That's one thing that I noticed just like God says, love your neighbor. we help each other here in the south when something like this happens. most of my neighborhood was lucky and didn't get much water but our power was out for almost a week. and the love and support that the majority of people showed each other was beautiful. and we actually got to spend quality time together, without screens distracting us. We have gotten too dependent on technology and the government.

    Praying for everyone affected by these terrible storms. 🙏 In case this can help anyone, yoga is a more effective treatment for PTSD than pharmaceuticals, according to research and from personal experience. Symptoms will probably start coming up in a couple of months. Christmas will be especially hard. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.❤️

      Matthew 7:24-27: Jesus says that those who hear his words and put them into practice are like a wise man who builds his house on a rock. The house stands firm against the winds, rains, and floods because it's built on a solid foundation. Those who hear his words but don't put them into practice are like a foolish man who builds his house on sand. The house falls with a great crash when the winds, rains, and floods beat against it.
