Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward. (Mk 9:38-43, 45, 47-48)

How important it is for to care about one another: every act of kindness will be rewarded and remembered. Today we remember and pray for all our friends and loved ones in Asheville and the mountains of Western North Carolina. I lived and worked in the mountains of North Carolina for more than 30 years. The widespread destruction is beyond belief. There are many dead or missing. There is no water, no lights, no cell phone service, no internet, no gasoline. Roads are impassable. There is little to no food. Many have lost their homes and their livelihood, and winter is fast approaching. But mountain people are tough. Mountain people have lots of faith as the Psalmist said long ago: I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121).
