Road trip to Atlanta yesterday. Wendy has an audition for a movie in Dunwoody. It took us 3 hours to get there. Does following a Mazda 6 and a Suburu WRX at 100mph have anything to do with that? Anyway, we get to the audition spot, Wendy changes cloths in the car and walks in. I pull off and start turn the corner and the phone rings, “I’m done”. No lie, in the space of 5 minutes she has finished the audition and is ready to go. 7 hours round trip driving for 5 minute audition. UNBELIEVABLE!!! (I drove slower on my way back)
So we haded to Cumberland Mall where we ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Food was average but the service was the BEST EVER!!! I mean A+… Our waiter was on his game yesterday…
Walked around the mall… Every mall is the same. I imagine if you have been in one you have been in them all. Kind of like Wal-mart, eh?
I need to plan these trips better. There were lots of other things we could have done. We should have gone to little 5 points. I could have taken them to that Cuban Bistro that is over there. What a great place. I like the big city. If I was going to live in a place like Atlanta I would have to live close to downtown or little 5 points. None of the suburban dwelling. Get down right were the action is. This is why I want to get out of Madison and get into downtown Huntsville. It is that culture I want to immerse myself in. I am not sure how all this will work out. It is some thing God will have to orchestrate.
Reading and mediating in the book of John. I will be teaching John 6 in the future so I started plowing through it last night. Amazing how Jesus “test” Philip and Andrew with the situation, however, he already had it figured out. That is a timely teaching for me. I know that in the future I will be faced with a situation of choosing between higher income/crappy work environment or lower income/better work environment. Sometimes I think I have it figured out but then there is aways a monkey wrench that seems to get thrown into the gears. There is always this battle between Spirit and flesh. Being consumed with John for months now this is the teaching of Jesus in the book. He always takes something physical to point to the Spiritual. I want to walk spiritually and walk in faith. I know the choice I have to make. For the sake of my health and for the gospel. It is hard… very hard.
