Mullet Bay on St. Simons Island, GA

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:00:06 -0700

I have some great friends who live off the coast of Southern Georgia on Saint Simons Island. It is a really beautiful area and there are some great restuarants around. My favorite since I have been going down there is Mullet Bay. Right in the 'down town' area of St. Simons. Great food, great service, friendly servers and a completely beautiful place/area. If you are down that way, check it out. It is only an hour from Savannah or Jacksonville.

How do you move?

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:30:03 -0700

How do you move? When someone has injured you in some way....how do you react? We have the most amazing example in our Lord Jesus.....who always moved in 'forgiveness'...even crying out to the Father while dying on the cross, "forgive them for they know not what they are doing."It is the tougher road to forgive. We can always take the easier, more traveled road of revenge. That seems satisfying to us...and we feel like we have control of our lives. Yet in the end we will become bitter and darken ...
