Today, we're talking about flash flooding in Kentucky, President Biden's COVID rebound,

a bombed prisoner camp in Ukraine, and other top news for Monday, August 1st.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pourover.

Here's the quote of the day, humility is the foundation of all the other virtues, hence

in the soul in which this virtue does not exist, there cannot be any other virtue except

in mere appearance, Saint Augustine.

Let's start with some espresso shots.

Kentucky has had some uniquely horrible weather over the last year.

Last winter, ice storms knocked out power for hundreds of thousands and unseasonable tornadoes

killed 80 people.

Now massive flooding has killed at least 26 people and forced the rescue of 1,500 more.

President Biden issued a major disaster declaration, freeing up federal funds to help the disaster

response, but many areas remain inaccessible.

Six counties were hit particularly hard, getting as much as 2 inches of rain per hour, flooding

rivers and leaving areas underwater.

Also, sending a disaster response team, the small town of Bremen, Kentucky.

Bremen was hit hard by December's tornadoes and received lots of help from Hindman, a town

300 miles away.

Now that Hindman is flooded, they're returning the favor.

Times of difficulty are also times of opportunity.

The Bible promises that prayer is powerful and effective.

Join us in praying for those in eastern Kentucky who continue to face natural disasters.
