HEAR FROM THOSE WHO'VE TRANSFORMED THEIR LIVES
"On the second day of this month, I want to express my gratitude to Justus Cox, a man of faith who instills the fear of the Lord with his powerful words. During his brief yet profound talk at the 4-H Pinckney Leadership Conference, he shared a revelation: the mountaintop symbolizes blessings and wisdom, while the valley is where we apply what we've learned. His words, rooted in wisdom and scripture, left me with a renewed sense of purpose, reminding us to use our mountaintop lessons to foster growth in our community."
