Kentucky Color: I'm Rich!!! 2020-12-15 - Russell Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Billy Joe writes, "How many youngsters over the centuries upon finding their first, crystal ladened geode have exclaimed, 'I'm rich!'? Yes, you're probably right, all of'm! Upon finding this handful of diamonds recently, just to make sure that I still had somewhat of a sense of youthful exuberance left in me, I shouted out, 'I'm rich!' I do admit that there was no one around to hear me but it felt pretty good. Maybe it would do you good to check your 'youthful exuberance' gauge occasionally. In point of fact, Jesus Himself said, '...unless you change and become like little children..'." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Remembering my son by his sweet gift 2020-12-14 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Sandy Withers Janes. Sandy Janes shared her sweet memory of her son, "two years ago Chris got a piece of cardboard and made me this for my birthday. He left it on kitchen table for me. It meant so much. I put it in my bible to keep. So thankful I dated it. The best birthday card I could have ever gotten. Never ever did I think I would be here without my son. Katelyn took a picture of this and made the bracelet for me. What a precious gift from Chris' children, Chris' handwriting. In 2018 I lost my precious husband of 34 years and lost my precious brother Andy May 29, 2020 then on August 29 lost my precious son. Never take your loved ones for granted. Leave them notes - call them and tell them u love them. I'm so thankful the morning of August 29, I kissed Chris and told him I love him."
