Great things about Georgia? Way too many to list. I am 2 hours from the mountains and 3 hours from the beach.
I live far enough out where all my neighbors can't hear me yell from my back deck, and I can be in a mid-size town in 30 minutes (Athens), and a large city (Atlanta) in less than 90 minutes!
The absolute greatest group of people in the world allow me to be their pastor!

Georgia, sweet Georgia, the whole day through.....

The best place for bbq is Famous Dave's on Powers Ferry in Marietta. They are very good and not to pricy either. I don't know about their ribs though. I never had them. But if it is like anything else on the menu they are good. Oh wait, my daughter did get the riblets a few times. Yes, :nod they were good.

[Shakin' It Off]

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal. :nod
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what: :aaa
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
"I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Well every time I read this thread ... "Georgia ..... Georgia ....." comes to mind. It's one of the few places in the US of A I haven't been to.


Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind

Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clean
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach to to me
Other eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I see
The roads leads back to you

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Thought you might recognize the name from your deputation days. He pastored in Jesup, GA.

[Felicity]

Thought you might recognize the name from your deputation days. He pastored in Jesup, GA.But like I said I never was in Georgia.

My husband was. He and my oldest son completed our first deputation by themselves.....traveled for about 6 weeks while I was home getting packed, etc. because FMD wanted us in HK sooner than what had been planned.

They traveled in Georgia and Florida part of that time, but I missed out. We weren't scheduled there at all our 2nd deputation so I know not of whom you speak. ;) :)

[Praxeas]

Very few Californians here, that counts for a lot.
We got sumptin in common. Nearly everyone here has the same last name...Gonzales. Rodriquez....don't a lot of folks there have the same last name? I hear they all look like....well....like they could be brothers and sisters? :neener

He is still the pastor there.

He doesn't pastor anymore. He does still go to church there. He evangelizes from Jesup.

I believe you are right. I forgot about that, a friend of mine used to go there and I remember her telling me that he was stepping down. They UPCI still have him as pastor though. :dunno

The church doesn't have a new pastor yet. I'm not sure what is going on with that. Brother Bush preached at my grandparents church last night. They are barely able to move so they don't go to church much anymore but they had to go hear him preach. He is a loved man.

Correct: The Jesup church just got a pastor.

[ThePastorsCoach]

WOW - I must be totally out of the loop! Bro. Bush was Home Mission Director in GA when I moved here to plant a new church in Marietta in 1994. Why is not pastoring in Jessup? I figured he would be there all his days! It must be a recent change.

He is still in Jesup. He hasn't been the Home Missions Director for several years. He preaches out several times month.

Thanks - I really liked him - he was a help to me when we moved to ATL in '94. Who is the new pastor?

[Truly Blessed]

That's why I only eat farm raised catfish. :happydanceAccording to my Evangelist friend from Monroe, La, his friend has the best catfish in La. He supplies many places with catfish and is known for the excellent quality control of his fish ponds.

We ate catfish for the first time while in La. and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Of course I really like white fish. We don't have catfish here in the Vancouver area, as far as I know. Maybe I should start up a Catfish Restaurant.:dunno

Definetly NOT the pollen count. It is 5499! :eek: When it is above 700 they say it is high and you should stay indoors.

The major pollens present are oak, sweet gum, birch, sycamore, mulberry, and beech.

If you have allergies this is not the place for you right now. If you don't have allergies this is not the place for you right now because you will soon have allergies! Everything outside is yellow from the pollen. Makes it very hard to breath.

Well, I had a nice 2 weeks with my windows open. Now the pollen is here we can't open them anymore and when the pollen is gone it will be too hot to open them.:dunno

My Pastor used to use an Evangelist Travis Waycaster from Gillsville,He had a tent and preached faith.He was friends with Evangelist Coma Rivers , who is our pastor's first cousin.

[MrsMcD]

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.

The first man had married a woman from Colorado and had told her that she was going to do dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Nebraska. He had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a girl from Georgia. He told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a bite to eat and load the dishwasher....

You know, you really gotta love those GEORGIA gals...

No I'm sorry. I'm not familar with that name. I attended Frst UPC Sis Alice Sheppard pastor. Her son Bro. Harold Sheppard is pastor there now.
I've not lived there since the late 70's and visted rarely. We moved to TX then up here to AK in 1990. Columbus is still my roots though. ;)

Columbus is right on the state line. Many folks live in one city and work in the other.

I have lots of kin in Alabama. ;)
