A Fun Outing – The Buford Corn Maze

My wife LOVES all things fall: apple cider, fire pits, s’mores, sweaters and yes, corn mazes & hay rides!

We have made an annual tradition of going to the Buford Corn Maze with great friends. It is always a lot of fun. If you’re in the area, I’d recommend checking it out. If you’re not, find something like it and have some fun with your friends.

A Great Mexican Resturant – La Cazuela

La Cazuela has locations in Buford and Lawrenceville. They have a great menu and a friendly team. Laura really likes their ceviche. I like just about anything! My friend Nate recommends trying their alambre: Chunks of marinated and charbroiled fajita steak or chicken, along with bacon, peppers and onions. Presented sizzling on your table. Side of charro beans, rice, lettuce, guacamole, tomatoes and sour cream. I will be trying this next!

A Great Sermon – The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

John Mark Comer has a great book and a sermon by the same title. The thoughts in this message are really impactful. If you are able to watch it, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

A Quote from I’m Thinking About

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again, and great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves, and even loved in spite of ourselves.” — Victor Hugo

An Advent Devotional I Ordered – Advent 2021 She + He Bundle

Advent is a wonderful time to prepare our hearts for the significance of Christmas. He Reads Truth and She Reads Truth both have devotionals to help do just that. I ordered a “his and her” bundle today for Laura and I work thru this season.

From He Reads Truth:

Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” —John 8:12

Our Savior declared Himself to be the Light of the World. But this story of light piercing through the darkness didn’t begin with the birth of a baby boy under a shining star in the city of Bethlehem. From creation to the incarnation to the coming eternal city, Scripture speaks of Jesus’s life-giving presence and light in a dark world.During this Advent season, we celebrate that the hopes and fears of all the years were answered in Jesus, the everlasting light. 

This five-week Advent experience features daily Scripture reading that traces this theme throughout the Bible, preparing our hearts to encounter Christmas Day in a fresh way. It is also filled with thoughtful extras designed to help you engage this season as people of light, from daily reflection prompts to recipes, crafts, classic Christmas hymns, and more. Join us for Advent 2021 as we celebrate and contemplate The Everlasting Light.

An App for Renting Cars – Turo

Turo is basically the Airbnb of rental cars. It allows you rent other people’s cars. Turo has a wide-selection of “normal” everyday rides all the way up to really high end vehicles. With traditional rental car companies struggling to catch-up to demand, Turo is a great alternative. I recently rented a Jeep Wrangler and loved it. Thinking about buying a new car? Perhaps you can find the exact one on Turo to test drive for a few days!

A Podcast to Check Out – Living Centered

My friend Jim recommended this podcast to me a few days ago. It is hosted by some of the team at Onsite. Here is a brief description of the podcast: “Each week, we sit down with mental health experts, artists, and friends for a practical and honest conversation about how to pursue a more centered life—rediscovering, reclaiming, and rooting in who we truly are.” I am downloading several episodes now!

A Quote from I’m Thinking About

There are no good or bad emotions; there are just emotions. When we learnto identify, feel, and empathize with the full range of our internal lived experiences, we authentically connect to others and the world around us in a more sustainabletife-givingway.” — Miles Adcox

Let’s change the world together!

Let's start the conversation.
