Life in Georgia

Preface: We don't have internet in our current residence. Once we get settled permanently and we'll have internet and update more frequently...

We woke up this morning to a crispy cool morning of 58 degrees...we're not in Texas anymore. And in case you are wondering, the weather is not the only difference from Texas to Georgia. There are trees here! And mountains! It's beautiful! If we haven't invited you out to visit us, this is your formal invitation!

One of our biggest fears leaving the Lone Star State was that we would lose the luxury of finely prepared Mexican food. In the Lord's timing, we discovered what will indefinitely become a lifeblood for our time here: Taqueira del Sol. Friends, let me tell you, this place is amazing! It is a small taco joint (similar to Rusty Taco for you Dallas folk) with amazing taco's and great cheese dip (Lauren was perplexed that it's not called queso). Come visit and we'll take you there.

The Lord has blessed us with beautiful people who have welcomed us and made us feel like family. Every day when I walk into work I'm taken back to the times I walked down the aisle of dad's church and had little old ladies pinch my cheeck - what a life! I'm fortunate to be able to sit under Chuck Bentley; not many men have the urgency for the Kingdom that he has. It will most definitely be an inspiring and encouraging year.

I had a great idea to get Lauren involved in our blog. It will be called Lauren's Lines. After each blog I'll leave some room for her to input her thoughts and experiences - it will be great!

  1. Hi Jon,
    This is very random but...
    I am friends with Farron and heard you were working for Crown Financial. I am part of a business ministry that is launching at my church and we are looking for a list of the verses Crown uses for their studies. I tried looking on their website but couldn't find much. Do you have access to that information yet or have an idea where to direct me? I really appreciate your help. My email is sarahdowdellparker@gmail.com

  2. I like what I read. I sure wish we spent more time together before we peaced out on each other...we are praying for you guys, and we talked about you tonight. I trust life is great and you are both living deeply.

  3. Hey, Jon and Lauren! We felt the same dilemma in moving to Boston. The question weighing heavy on our minds was, "Will there be Mexican food?!" HA! Happy to hear you guys have found your place...we're still looking for ours and I'm losing a little hope. :) Also, glad and encouraged to hear you guys are settling in to life in Atlanta! We're excited to hear what the Lord does through you both!
