Bro. Tatum already answered this. It's a little over an hour away. But it was a beautiful drive. I have never been over on the other side of athens, and it is just beautiful country. Calm, peaceful, not a lot of traffic. One of the things I really dislike about the area where I live is the neverending traffic, so this was a nice change.
They had a very nice church, the sanctuary part is refurbished, but built in the 20's (I think he said?). The first church that I attended was in a 100 year old building, and so my first thought on walking into the sanctuary was that it "smelled like church". It always amazes me how our memories are tied to our senses.
I was very disappointed however as I did not see one woman wearing a tube top! No hotpants either! And none of them looked like Tammy Faye Bakker or Jan crouch! (Though I have been sworn to secrecy regarding the color of shirt that Bro. Tatum wore under his jacket :sshhh I was asked specifically to keep this information from Bro. Epley

)
There was a wonderful move of God during the worship service, when a young man sang the Casting Crowns song "Praise you in this storm". And then Bro. Tatum preached a message on the Seeds in the various grounds (See, I EVEN listened

)
And then they took me for lunch, where we had some good mexican food, and gossiped, err....I mean prayerfully discussed AFF, and where I found out that Bro. Tatum is more conservative than he comes across. (A fault that I mercifully forgive him for

)

Yep Bro. Scott! I reminded him that he better let me know ahead of time so that I can make sure to visit when you are there!
