Okay, so I realize that my last few posts have been about trips to one town or another, but I promise that I do have other things to blog about. In fact, I fully intend on blogging a review of Feallengod: The Conflict in the Heavenlies by Craig Davis later this week, so be on the lookout for that. In the meantime, however, I would like to note some great observations of our schweet weekend in Macon, GA with Sharon's folks.
1. Apartment complexes in Macon are at least 65% better than those in Jackson. The reasons being that they are not only gated communities (A++), but the majority of them only a require a pet deposit and not an added monthly expense to own a pet (A+++). The complexes are not only nicer, they are genuine communities as opposed to most of the complexes in Jackson.
2. On the subject of apartments, there is at least 1 sketchy complex in every city. Macon is not omitted from this group.
3. The Melting Pot is one fantabuloso restaurant! I have to say that fondue is quite amazing and I completely agree with Kitty Forman's assessment that it should be called "fundue."
4. Malls for rich people will most assuredly make you feel middle class the moment you walk into one of the stores and they look you up and down and decide not to help you. Oh well, I still drank a ritzy bottle of water from your Starbucks! Bazinga!
5. Leaving for an 8 hour drive home after 4 pm is NOT the best of ideas... especially when your fiancee has to work the next morning. Still, I drove the whole way because I'm hardcore like that!
That's pretty much it on the observations. There were a lot more, but since I don't want you folks to tire of reading before you finish, I'll leave it here. All in all though, it was a great weekend and I always enjoy spending some time in Macon.
Until next time, folks

Prayer Appointed for the Week (March 27 - April 2)
Live from Macon (as opposed to dead from Macon) here is your Prayer Appointed for the Week update:
Gracious Father, whose blessed Son, Jesus Christ, came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world:
Evermore give me this bread, that he may live in me, and I in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Also, other posts to look forward to this week are:
- An update about our trip to Macon (could be exciting, could be boring... Stay tuned to find out more!)
- Review of Feallongod: The Conflict in the Heavenlies by Craig Davis.
See you next time.

P.S.
This is an extra addition to my last post. I completely forgot about the fact that we went antique shopping and may have popped into some seriously questionable flea markets while we were in Corinth last weekend. While we were at this great little antique store in downtown Corinth (because that's where all the cool stuff is), Sharon and I found some coffee mugs for our future home that are straight off of the set of That 70's Show (more likely straight from 1976). So, without keeping you waiting any longer, here is a picture of these psychedelic mugs that I am sure many a cup of coffee will be enjoyed in over the next few years.

Weekend in Corinth
Well folks, as promised, here are some pictures from our weekend in my little hometown of Corinth, MS. Fun was had by all as we ventured to the quaint downtown area for a little lunch at Borrum's Drug Store:
After we were all seated, Sharon and I looked at the menu...
Already knowing what we were going to order, we chose the world's greatest Patty Melt. Literally.
Then I figured, "what the hay, I'll take a snap shot" and caught mom doing what she's always doing... texting.
This is a great little place to check out if you ever find yourself in Corinth. The food is great, the atmosphere is wonderful and downtown Corinth has numerous shops and historical attractions to check out. If you are ever in need of someone to interpret the Mississippi slag for you or just want someone to join you at Borrum's, give me a "hollar" as they like to say and I know that Sharon and I will be on board in an instant.

Prayer Appointed for the Week (March 20-26)
Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves:
Keep me both outwardly in my body and inwardly in my soul, that I may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Amen.

Yes, I'm still here
Well, friends... I was planning on doing a post about the history of St. Patrick's Day, but since I have never really read anything about St. Patrick I figured that I would wait until next year and not fill you full of Wikipedia junk. So, until next year friends.
I do feel that this blog post will be more on recent events and a quick update on what to expect in the coming weeks than anything substantial. Therefore, I trust that you will bear with me today and be eagerly awaiting on the edge of your seats for a new post.
I have had some questions come to me as of late about some interesting topics that I plan to research and look in to and hopefully I will be able to answer some of those questions in the near future. I won't divulge the topics just yet, that way I know that you will come back and read the updates (because, come on, why else would I blog unless I knew someone cared enough to read it?). Also, Sharon and I are headed to Corinth, MS this weekend to visit with my folks and enjoy some small town hospitality; be looking for a few picture updates in the near future as well.
That's it for now. I did not want to keep you waiting any longer for some word from me and have you sitting there wondering if I had given up as quickly as I had started. Be looking for a new update in a couple of days. For now I shall leave you with the words:
Peace of Christ
