A Georgia Mile is Longer Than a Texas Mile





We found a new running trail tonight--behind the hospital, with a little hidden lake. Very beautiful. Very cool. We wanted to share some pictures of it with you.
In the last post, I noted that 1.2 miles does not equal 1.2 miles. I am pretty sure that is correct now. This trail tonight was 1 mile. Yeah, right. More like 5 miles. In the words of Lauren, "That's rough." The hills are a killer. The last picture shows the beginning of the trail--it has an incredibly steep hill to start the trail--the picture does not really do it justice.

We have two quotes we want to share with you. Last week at church, a friend of ours was talking about something; and for whatever reason, he said, "Jesus, he was the man." That could be my quote of the year. Tonight, at Target, we're walking along and there are two women with probably a junior high-age girl walking with them. Apparently, one of the women said something tacky. The young girl said, "You need to find you a Bible." Hilarious.

Life moves along for us here in Georgia. Today marks our having been here for two weeks. Tomorrow, we are heading into the big town of Atlanta to figure out Lauren's going to and fro from school.
