Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
2021-01-18
It's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in America. Dr. King's Mountaintop speech, given April 3, 1968 at the Church of Christ in Memphis, TN, is quoted, "We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop... Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land!" The next day, on April 4, 1968, King was assassinated." Comments | Permalink

Charlie D settles into his new home
2021-01-18 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Jane Smith
Photographer Jane Smith writes, "January 9th on Columbia Magazine I saw that "Charlie D" as we now call him was looking for his family or a new home. I was fortunate enough to get to meet him that day and he has since set up residency on Jack Smith Road. He has adjusted well and seems right at home. He's an avid hunter and bird watcher. He purrs a little louder when the little humans come to visit. He is also very photogenic when he chooses to be." Comments | Permalink
