You can’t go very far in this area without finding a church of one kind or another.
Big and small, wide and narrow, some based out of houses and others consisting of many buildings churches do the landscape with ministry after ministry of almost every protestant denomination that you can find.
It reaches a point after a while that you almost don’t notice but you can’t help but notice the New Birth Church.
New Birth Sign
I will be writing a much longer post on the subject but I wanted to give a personal thank you for the kindness and the hospitality that the people of Doraville gave to a stranger from 1000 miles away who was intruding on their celebration and reception for their police chief who has just returned from Afghanistan. I want to give a particular thank you to the Mayor who gave me some of his time privately.
At the Reception
Chief/Col King and some of the citizens of Doraville
You know I have talked to people from Lithonia , Doraville, Atlanta, Norcross, Decatur and I have to say to my compatriots up north, if you had the pleasure of meeting the people of Georgia as I have you would have a very different picture of the south than what is currently portrayed in the media and in popular culture. I have yet to meet a person that I would not mind living on my street back home and I’ve met MANY people who I wish did.
Update: Here is a brief clip from the presentation before the reception
For people interested (and even for those not) here is my tentative schedule for the next two days:
Set in STONE:
Thursday: Meet and Greet with Liz Carter at Matthews Cafeteria 2299 Main Street Tucker Ga 30084-4702 8 p.m. 6:30 p.m.
Friday Night 8-9 p.m. Personal meet-up with friends of Mr. Kelly Sr. (my host)
Planned almost certain:
Thursday 12:00 noon or so Lunch with rep of the Cory Ruth’s campaign
Thursday Morning Stone Mountain view the monument take some shots
Must do’s before I leave:
Visit Hank Johnson’s local Lithonia office
Tour Coke Museum (for youngest son)
Photos of houses (for wife)
If there are any local bloggers or tea party members who would like to talk the Matthews event is the best shot to do so. Hope to see you there.
Religion, politics, History, the founding fathers, theology, economics we are opining deeply on all subjects. And of course we have the full Kelly (Vinnie, George, and Joe) Clan joining the Axis of Fedora.
I live for this.
