When someone has a dad who loved the Lord and his family, you can tell it when the person speaks of him. My dad went home to be with the Lord a little over a year ago. He had the same heart as your dad had. At his funeral, people we didnt know shared with us how much he had helped them in their time of need. Dad was a pharmacist and owned his own drugstore. He gave away so much medicine to families that didnt have the money. Such a faithful husband and father. I was truly blessed to have him.

What a great and interesting story. I liked how you just sat down with Eddie and Ruthie and had them tell their story. Very powerful. Thank you John!

[@waynemiracle8928]

WOW! What a great video! This was an amazing story of true love, unwise youthful decisions, hardships, family conflict, redemption, and etc. I was riveted from the beginning and couldn’t stop watching. It was a real blessing! Thank you for all the great things you are doing for Appalachia!

The Guenther family is always your best video in my opinion

[@LindaScales-hr5br]

You never know what someones life is like until they tell you. From the surface, everything looks good but when you talked to them they let us know it is not always a bowl of cherries. They are believers in God and it showes in their actions.🙏❤️🙂

I keep a file with all the places you go & can't wait to make a road trip. I'm in CT and because of your videos and introduction to this part of the country I am looking at relocating to Tennessee. I've had it with hurricanes and winter Noreasters! I look forward to your next video.
