After continuing the clean up efforts from Hurricane Helene, check out what was found in a debris pile in my hometown in Western North Carolina.

Remember with Jesus you can withstand any storm!

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, several things were lost, damaged, recovered, etc. The nativity set that we had stored in one of the warehouses at Catawba Meadows was eventually accounted for except for Baby Jesus.... until yesterday!

Parks and Recreation crews found a debris pile in the woods near Catawba Meadows and after cleaning it up they found Baby Jesus buried underneath.

We are looking at options of restoring the set to its original state or purchasing a new one. We are just thankful that it was found!

1/6/26 - Yesterday evening, on-air I talked about how dry it has been, and how much of our area has been below normal in the rainfall department.

Today the Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook has been released for January, February, and March..

Our entire area is under the risk for wildfires. From December to May is wildfire season for our area. It doesn't take much to remember the Covington Dr fire from last year.

Please practice heighted safety if you are burning.
