Christmas celebration in Chimney Rock Village
Provided By: Visit Chimney Rock Lake Lure
Chimney Rock Village, devastated by Hurricane Helene, will reopen for a Christmas celebration on Saturday, Dec. 14 from 10am to 4pm. The Christmas celebration is a one day only event and visitors will be able to tour the area.
Officials advised visitors to park at Lake Lure Beach, where a shuttle will run every 15 minutes.
Flooding destroyed small businesses, washed away inventory, and buried shops in the mud. Officials noted that over 1,000 volunteers from across the country have helped rebuild the town, but
next Saturday, they’re asking for your support.
Christmas activities will include:
• Pictures and toys with Santa
• Christmas goodies from newly renovated shops
• Christmas music
• Free food
Due to the flood, Chimney Rock Village businesses are selling their merchandise
Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Businesses are located on the second floor of the International Pavilion while recovery and rebuilding efforts continue in Chimney Rock Village.
Nothing stops Asheville SCOUT from serving our Veterans
Provided By: Shane Suzuki, news.va.gov
Corey Anderson is used to making house calls as part of VA’s Supporting Community, Outpatient, Urgent Care and Telehealth Services (SCOUTS) program in Asheville.
As a SCOUT, he follows up with patients, usually older Veterans or those with mobility issues, making sure they understand how to take their medications and providing guidance on new medical equipment.
What he isn’t used to is a hurricane blowing through the area, destroying roads, flooding towns and making travel and communication almost impossible.
In September, when Hurricane Helene brought the worst rainstorms in more than 100 years, local VA clinics were mostly spared, meaning they could immediately begin serving their community when the storm passed.
“On Monday, just a couple days after the storm hit, the wife of a Veteran who had been recently discharged reached out needing help. I went to their apartment to deliver what they needed. As I’m leaving, a man asked me if I work at

VA. Next thing I know, I’m helping deliver water and food to 4 or 5 apartments each day,” Anderson shared.
SCOUT Corey Anderson, delivering a box of needed supplies.
“They needed help and I was able to help.” He soon found a Veteran with mobility issues who had a hard time leaving his upper-story apartment with the elevator out-of-service. As power and water outages continued, Anderson and others from VA found themselves not only providing medical services but also serving the ongoing recovery efforts.
“I brought some cleaning supplies and helped move downed trees. They needed help and I was able to help,” he said.
After the first week, Anderson started reaching out to his regular SCOUTS

patients, catching them up on appointments that had been postponed because of the storm.
“I had a patient who had been in the emergency room right before the storm hit and I was heading out to do a follow up with him. About a half mile from his house, there was a yellow caution tape. The road had washed out. It didn’t feel like a choice. There was no turning around and going back to VA and saying, ‘I just couldn’t make it.’ That just couldn’t happen,” he explained.
Anderson, a Veteran himself, didn’t turn around. Instead, he loaded up and walked through the washed-out roads and over fallen trees to visit with his patient, delivering his supplies and checking on their wellbeing.
Anderson was a mechanic in the Army, spending time in Germany
and a deployment to Ramadi, Iraq, before finding a job at the West Palm Beach VA.
“I started in the compensated work therapy program, but I’ve been lucky. I’ve had great leadership along the way. They supported me as I worked up to my current position. Most people in these jobs are former medics or corpsmen, so they have the medical background. But I worked with some great people. They encouraged me and helped me get the training and the skills.”
“He’s one of those people who gets things done.”
According to Kristina Snell, National ICT program manager, Anderson is a natural for this kind of work. “He’s just one of those people who can get things done. He makes it happen. He lights up every room he’s in,” she said.
The SCOUTS program supports a Veteran population that is growing older, providing in-home care after an emergency room visit for Veterans at

The majority of people hear Christmas and naturally think of December 24 and 25. For millions of Christians, these two dates mark Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, respectively, which is when Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, the word Christmas comes from the phrase “Mass of Christ.” However, there are certain faithful who will not be celebrating Christmas on December 25. These are namely
those who belong to Orthodox, Greek Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox churches, among others. These churches primarily trace their origins to Eastern Europe and portions of Asia and Africa, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia, Greece, Armenia, and Ethiopia. The churches utilize the former Julian calendar for religious observations. This places Christmas on January 7. It also is believed that 12 days after Jesus was born,
risk for physical, cognitive or functional decline, and hospitalization and falls. By bringing more care to the Veteran, the program improves their wellbeing but also ensures they are connected to the resources they need.
This can mean assisting with telehealth connections and virtual appointments along with doing in-home assessments. For Veterans living in rural areas, or those with mobility challenges, SCOUTS offers a deeper patient connection and better health outcomes.
“Around here, VA is part of the community, but the community is part of VA,” Anderson added. “Almost everyone you know is a either a Veteran or their family has Veterans, so it’s appreciated what we do here. But really, it’s what we do every day. We help people. We help Veterans when they need it.”

three magi visited him to shower him with blessings and gifts, an event known as the Epiphany. Some recognize Christmas as occurring on this day, which is January 6. In fact, the “true” Christmas holiday takes place between Christ’s birth and the Epiphany, or the 12 days of Christmas. Candlemas, which comes 40 days after Christmas, also is considered the official end of the Christmas season for some.

In our lives, we often find ourselves at a crossroads, seeking guidance and clarity. We reach out to friends, family members, or even mentors, hoping their advice will illuminate the path ahead. However, there are times when their well-intentioned insights may not resonate with our deepest needs or the circumstances we face. In such moments, I’ve discovered the immense comfort and wisdom that comes from turning to a source that transcends human understanding: the Wonderful Counselor, as described in Isaiah 9:6. When we seek guidance from Jesus, we are tapping into an eternal well of knowledge and wisdom.

will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” This passage invites us to surrender our need for control and human understanding and instead place our complete trust in the Lord. When we acknowledge Him in every aspect of our lives, He directs our steps and offers clarity amidst confusion. Sometimes, we might question how to hear God’s voice amidst the noise of daily life. Jesus Himself often withdrew to solitary places to pray. By creating our own quiet reflection spaces, we can cultivate an environment where the Holy Spirit can speak to us.
The Lamp
When navigating life’s complexities, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure. In these times, it’s crucial to remember that we are never truly alone.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his
Moreover, God speaks through His written Word— the Bible. Psalms 119:105 (ESV) beautifully illustrates this: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” When we immerse ourselves in Scripture, we gain insights that guide our steps and transform our hearts. Many times, I’ve found answers to my questions or directions for my life precisely when I needed them most, simply by diving into the pages of the Bible. There is no substitute for leaning on the Wonderful Counselor
who is the Word. John 1: 1 (AMP) states, “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.” With Christ as our guide, we can move forward in confidence, knowing we are on the path He has prepared for us.

Submitted by Kennedy Sanders For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Most of us hunters like to consider ourselves, the diehard variety. We’re not afraid to get up early, stay out late, and do whatever it takes to get our deer - unless it’s walking more than about a quarter of a mile from our vehicle. It’s true. Most hunters don’t hunt too far off the beaten path. I’ve actually seen some folks ride their four-wheeler up to the very tree they are hunting in. They say the deer never notice. I’m not so sure. I do believe when deer are pressured, they move to some strange places. And oftentimes it’s right next to a road or even a highway. I can remember one year while hunting in Alabama, my friend set up right next to a four-lane highway. On the last day of the hunt, he killed a nice eight-pointer. I’m sure that deer never imagined a hunter setting up in such an uncommon area. For me, there’s something about being in a place where I can’t hear any road noise. I don’t like having to listen for the rustle of leaves through the sounds of rush hour. The purity of the hunt seems tainted when the sounds of the woods are competing with the sounds of a nearby highway. I like being able to hear every squirrel’s bark and every bird’s chirp. I’ve noticed my time with the Lord is often characterized this way as well. I find that at times I try to hear God without getting far enough away from the sounds of my daily grind. It may be a phone, a computer, or even a time restraint that’s not allowing me to hear all I’m meant to hear. As a result, the experience is not what I need or what God wants. The problem is that I’m just hunting (praying) too close to my truck. I’m doing it because it’s the easiest thing to do. But again, the best ones are usually far off the beaten path. Right now, there may be something you need God to speak to you about. You have a need, a problem, or a direction you have questions about. And it’s a big one. For these-sized answers you’re going to have to get away from all the sounds of the world you’re in and remove yourself from anything that will keep your attention from Him. It may take a little longer and a little more effort to get there, but we know that both will have been worth it when you return with the God-sized answer you had hoped for.

Each January 1, people all over the world make resolutions for the new year. Many of the same resolutions pop up on popularity lists each year. According to a study by GoBankingRates, which in December of 2015 asked 5,000 people what their New Year’s Resolutions would be for 2016, the top resolutions included:
• Enjoy life to the fullest.
• Live a healthier lifestyle.
• Lose weight.
• Spend more time with family and friends.
• Save more, spend less.
A study by Thomas Cook UK, a United Kingdom-based travel company, indicated many people in Britain planned to cut back on social media as a top resolution as well. It should be interesting to see which resolutions play out upon the arrival of 2025.
