Happy Sunday from the Appalachian Mountains of Southeastern Kentucky.

I know there is a lot going on in the world right now, things that can weigh heavy on your heart, stir up anxiety, and just feel overwhelming. Many of you are walking through hard personal seasons, too. I just wanted to remind you of this verse:

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10

When God spoke those words through Isaiah, His people were scared, facing exile, and surrounded by uncertainty. They felt helpless, and the world around them looked completely out of control. But God didn’t tell them they had to be tough enough to handle it all by themselves. He reminded them whose they were.

And that same promise holds true for us today.

No matter what you are carrying, whether it is something from the news or something a whole lot closer to home, you do not have to carry it alone. God is right there in the middle of it with you. He is not asking you to muster up the strength on your own; He is promising that He will do the strengthening, and He will do the holding up.

So if you are feeling worn out or weighed down today, take a minute, breathe, and just let that verse sink in.

My Dad, who grew up in the Appalachian Mountains, would say this when he got too much food on his plate. Have you heard this one before?

Did anyone you know call a garden hose by this old Appalachian or Southern name?

In the Appalachian Mountains, I've heard a couple different words for this piece of cookware. What do you call it?

Did your family give directions like this? Appalachian papaws would often say things like this when telling you how far down the road something was. How far do you reckon a country mile really is?

Did anyone else grow up living in one of these? This is what a lot of folks in Appalachia call a valley between two hills where families have lived for generations. Did you grow up in one?

We recently visited Five Oaks Farm Kitchen in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We have passed by this place so many times over the years but, for some reason, had never stopped in to try it.

Well, we have definitely been missing out because it was so good!

Just look at these cathead biscuits! They were huge! We were also surprised to see chocolate gravy on the menu. My wife ordered it and thought it was really good too.

Now I’m curious. Which kind of biscuit do you like best? A regular-size biscuit, or one of these big ol’ cathead biscuits?

What’s an old Appalachian phrase that a lot of folks might use to tell someone to stop talking?
