I am going to take this time to plug a great restaurant for everyone in the middle Tennessee area: Marcy Jo's Mealhouse! It is located in Pottsville, which sits at the intersection of highway 99 and highway 431 (between Columbia and Chapel Hill). If you have not munched on some tasty morsels at the mealhouse, now is the time!
Today is Thursday, and our senior adult group from the West 7th Church of Christ just returned from our lunch at Marcy Jo's. Envision with me the tasty plates of food that were set before us: pork chops covered in a mushroom gravy, corn, green beans with onions, homemade buttery mashed potatoes and cornbread (that's what was on my plate, anyway). Most everyone in our group chowed down on the special of the day, except for one who enjoyed the cheeseburger and fries. Since my lunch, I have discovered that they have homemade sweet potato fries. Let's just say I will be back to try those in the not-so-distant future! Did I mention I had homemade Coca-Cola chocolate cake with a side of vanilla ice-cream? I didn't need it, but boy I sure wanted it! It will knock your socks off, so be prepared.
Some of you have seen the Overstock.com commercials with Joey and Rory, and as you might know Joey is co-owner with Marcy. I hope you'll take time to check out their website at

Take the short drive over to Marcy Jo's to experience some of that great, down-home cooking. Your taste buds will be glad you did!

It's Feeding Time!
At the present time there are five small largemouth bass in our aquarium. We were going to get tropical fish, but Chandler couldn't keep his hands out of the aquarium when there weren't any fish in there. We managed to catch some small bass one day, and now we have pets!
You should see these dudes when it's feeding time. I take the boys outside every other day to catch grasshoppers for the fish. We put them in an empty water bottle, then Conner dumps them into the aquarium. I know this is on a very minute scale, but they look like sharks coming to chum!
I wonder sometimes how life might be different if more people would be that hungry for the Word of God. I am as guilty as anybody of neglecting holy writ while I let the good book sit. Jesus said "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied" (Mt. 5:6). The Bible truly is sole source for leading us to righteousness. David, speaking of the Lord in the 23 Psalm, said "He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake" (3b). If we're willing to follow the Lord, great things can happen in our lives. We've got to be willing to follow His direction. It's feeding time: are you hungry?
