I spent the afternoon in the beauty of north Georgia. Much of the day was spent in my friend Trey's convertible. There's nothing like tooling around on a beautiful day with the top down just enjoying the scenery. It was so relaxing and bit reviving to be out in God's beautiful nature. The leaves were absolutely immaculate as they change to vibrant shades of orange, red, yellow and everything in between. Did you know that scientist can't explain what makes the leaves turn red? they absolutely can not explain it. I bet God could, if He wanted to.....
I uploaded a few pics to my flickr account. http://www.flickr.com/photos/10613660@N04/
The highlights of the day were a delicious all you can eat Southern buffet in White county called the West Family Restaurant. Fried Okra, Green Beans, Creamed Corn, fried chicken, a biscuit, sweet tea polished off with some strawberry cobbler. mmm. mmm. good!
Then the gorgeous trek up to Georgia's highest peak, Brasstown Bald. Elevation 4,784 feet. Amazing views. We could just barely make out the haze of a very tiny downtown Atlanta from miles and miles away.
If you haven't had a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day living and enjoy the great outdoors, I challenge you and encourage you to do so. And along the way, be sure to remind yourself of Who is bringing it to you and thank Him for it!

hastening the arrival of November 5
I haven't written a post in a while and writing one is long overdue. I have a few thoughts I need to just air.....
I'm so ready for this election to be over. Silly season is in high gear with all sort of shenanigans ranging from voter fraud, mean spirited commentary, to all out lies.
O'Bama seems to be wanting to distance himself from all the shady people and organizations who have gotten him where he is, and disavow that he ever worked with them. How disengenious and untrustworthy can you get?
McCain seems to have lost steam and not want to fight hard to win. Nor do I think he has the most competent staff capable of winning.
Anyone who thinks McCain would be a 3rd term Bush Administration hasn't paid very close attention to the internal battles on the GOP and conservative side of politics in the past 8 years.
I think it's interesting that Michelle O'Bama really isn't out on the trail making speeches....mmm....negatives polling too high on her, perhaps?
I think Sarah Palin is breath of fresh air to the whole process and I love the fact that she's just like us. You can't accuse her of being "out of touch."
I think regardless of how talented Tina Fey might be, SNL is showing a real lack of respect for the electoral process by hitting below the belt. Implying incest by Todd Palin?! Come on!!!
I'm really curious what the 24 hour cable news outlets and the bloggers are going to talk about once the election is over.....well there's always "the transition", "the first 100 days in office", some concocted scandal.... I mean some of the channels will actually have to rename hours of programming.
Oh and one final note, I really wonder if all of a sudden the rest of the world who typically hate us will all of a sudden LOVE us just because/if Barack O'Bama is elected. I would argue those that hate America will ALWAYS hate America regardless of who its leader is. And that we shouldn't try to seek their good opinion. My preference would be for our leaders to do what's best for OUR country and its people.
Can I get an amen?!
