To all the people that came by, called, sent Facebook messages, talked to my children etc., in reference to road improvements in the Blackberry community thank you, but give all thanks to God. I was just the instrument or mouthpiece God used to help get the repairs done. He gave me favor and put the right people in place for everything to happen. The county has to pave 10 miles a year, so hopefully it won’t be long before all roads are paved with drainage ditches. I give God all the glory.
