| Introduction | I grew up in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky, amidst the smell of coal dust and the majesty of mist rising out of the hollers in the early morning light. I viewed it all as shades of gray - a captivity of sorts - by the bowl of mountains surrounding me. I wanted nothing more than to escape it's depressing control. Now, after a lifetime away from those mountains, I find myself inexplicably drawn back home. A lifetime of struggles, challenges, and adventure has allowed God to take the lumps of coal from my bucket and squeeze them with such power that the coal has become diamonds of the purist and rarest quality. Here I will share some of the lumps of coal - and the resulting diamonds - with you. |
