[@karenjarrett8904]

I thank you for passing these stories on, to keep the memories of the past alive.. God Bless You.

[@donnielaws7020]

Your very welcome my friend. God bless you.

[@lannyfaulkner6697]

Love this! I am a semi-retired Southern Baptist Pastor. I have been through the Cove three times over the years. Around 2012, I did a revival at Wears Valley Baptist Church and they allowed my wife and I to "vacation" for the week during the day. It was our last trip before my wife became ill. She passed away in 2015. I look forward to getting back there again. I love that place and I love these videos! Thank you Donnie!

[@donnielaws7020]

So sorry for your loss my friend. Thank you friend for sharing. Your very welcome. God bless you.

[@truckdaddy1957]

Lord bless you Pastor. I'm saddened at your loss.

[@buglover-qb1dq]

Brother Larry, way too many churches needing pastors... sigh

[@lauraeddy5747]

Wow a revival! Have you heard about revival radio tv on KZbin? Would love to go to a revival. May the holy spirit fire come upon us and save my family and especially my fallen from the faith daughter Jenny. So sorry for your loss and hope you have a visit to Cades cove soon. Prayers for us all. 🙏

The people of Appalachia, my people, they worked hard and they loved and worship God. There are little old churches here and one day I will meet them in heaven. Thanx for a beautiful video, of ever we needed Jesus we desperately need Him now. This world is a mess. God Bless Mr Donnie.

My wife’s dad was born at metcalfe bottoms he was the youngest of seven. He a attended little green brier school. We’ve been back many times and would take her aunts and uncle’s her dad’s brothers and sisters her dad died when she was fourteen. I could listen to them for hours the only thing left is is a stone wall her grandpa built from river rock from the little river. I guess it was lucky for me the park moved them out or I would never have met my beautiful wife of 45 years . All the aunts and uncles are gone now but we still go back with our children and grandkids to show them where they come from and hopefully they will will do the same with their children when my wife and I are gone I think it’s very important to know where you came from. I really enjoy listening to your stories , being born and raised in the hills of east Tn.

Ive been to all 3 churches, and the grave yards too. I finally did make it back to The Primitive Baptist Church just last fall. These old churches are beautiful, and the history is amazing. The old ways weren't wrong. I would love to go back to that era.

[@soldtobediers]

This one stirred up a fond guilt memory chip Donnie. 1996 my wife's mother & her youngest sister & our 16 yr. old daughter & 15 yr. old son - went on vacation with us to Branson Missouri. The sisters wanted to show us where they were raised up. Then after that we went to the old church they had attended. The church was built similar to the other one's in your video. It was about noon on a week day & it's door was unlocked. We went inside & listened to the sisters, who were both widowed & in their mid sixties, revel in their past stories of their times in their congregation. The younger sister picked up one of the old hymnals & said - while earthly thinking... ''I've just got to take this home with me to N.C.'' And so she did. Not one to ever correct an elder, I left a short note of explanation & a $50 donation inside the long handled offering basket - turned with it's opening hanging on the wall. One day I'm sure we will witness what the Preacher had to say about that one! May the 3:16 of the book of John - living within our hearts - be found so written upon the scroll of 3:16 in the book of Malachi.

All your videos are great Donnie, my daughter got married in the Smoky mountains years ago, I took my mother .she's been gone now for 4 years. But you brought back some memories, cuz I took her to Cades cove, I think we went to the primitive Church, and then we went to the mill when we had cornmeal ground .she got a bag and I also. My that is the best corn meal, I've ever had. thanks for the memories Donnie.

My Roots are tied to 1700s Virginia. And then to West Virginia, my grandmother and grandfather are from an old Coal mining area called Matoaka WV. Her daddy was a Preacher at a Baptist church there in the early century 1900s. It remindes me of them whenever we visit the old Churches in the Cove. ❤ Cheers From Toledo ohio.

LOVE this Donnie!! Thank you so very much for sharing the interesting and educational history, photos and stories of the churches of Cades Cove. During my travels in theSmokey Mountain area, I have stopped along the way to photograph a few of the churches.and cemeteries. There is always a peaceful, reverent and calming presence on the grounds. Sooooo beautiful!! Great places to stop for a rest and a prayer along the way!! When I was a child, my family moved from Pennsylvania to Florida. What a shock it was to see churches without cemeteries. Not sure if it was the "modern" thing to do in the 70's or if it was more practical and/or lucrative to build stand alone cemeteries, vaults, and funeral homes. Anyway... I am very happy to learn of the days gone by and how our ancestors worshiped and honored our God. Bless you for keeping these stories alive!!

We got hit by a derecho equal to a class 2 hurricane. Our power was out and it turned horribly hot. My various miserys started kicking in. We weren't supposed to have power for 8 more days. I charged my phone, started this video and our power popped on. I felt a shudder of electricity go through my body and I suddenly feel better. Your testimony works brother Laws. Don't stop.

Hey Mr Laws. Thanks for your story. You read my mind. I wondered how many Souls Saved, weddings ,funerals,God's circle of Life, and my favorite, how many after service dinners were served long ago. Brother, I bet the cooking was GOOD! Oh my goodness I am getting hungry thinking about it. Anyways, I Hope You are doing Good. Me and my Bulldog pup always Love watching your shows. He's catching some shut eye now, but I'll tell him about it when he wakes up. I try to remember all day long that God is Here, and is responsible for Everything, even me sending this to You now Brother, but my mind gets to thinking about chores, work, my Bulldog, everything. I need to keep God in my Heart and Mind all the time. I'm trying to teach this Pup, but this old Bulldog needs to learn some things. I'll try harder. I'll put it into Bulldog and do it. We all need God in our Hearts and minds all the time. It would be a Beautiful World. I know I would be a better person. So I will try to. God Bless You Mr Laws and keep keeping on. You got God with You. 🙏👍🇺🇲🐕♥️🙏

Back in the late 1990's my youngins and i had moved to Cookeville TN. It is so amazingly beautiful and I had lived for several years in St. Bethlehem TN before I had children. But Cookeville was not cityfide where we lived in the mountains as St Bethlehem was. I would have liked to have stayed. We had no modern anything. Cooled our food in the creek near my front door. Used outhouse, lighted with kerosene and candles. Cooked and heated with wood cook stove. Transportation was with horse and wagon. Washed clothes by hand. Showered behind sheets out back of cabin. But there was one horrid critter I could not bare...the camel-cricket. Fat off white bodies, clung to ones clothes, hair, skin, just everything. One could not hardly scrap them off. They jumped and flew like a cricket but were not scared of anything. When they were squished they let out the most horrid stench and thick disgusting substance. I gave up living there and we came home to north central Indiana and have never left again. Brook🧑‍🌾🍏🍎
