Imagine a small county in rural Western Kentucky with family farms, three grocery stores, one stoplight, one school system, a few gas stations, and a community of loving and hardworking people. This is Carlisle County. Now imagine that that someone is sick or injured and is in need of emergency medical treatment and the nearest hospital is thirty miles away. This type of setting and need is what drew me to serve the citizens of Carlisle County. I started my journey toward this destination many years ago. Yes, there were days of triumph, days of sorrow, and days that seemed to have no end. I know that all along this exodus, I had angels riding with me, for without them, I could not have possibly seen and experienced the many miracles God allowed me to witness.
