Hate to see you leave GA. I've been here for 22 years; good state. I really liked Virginia as a kid; great state; lots of culture, pride, and history. I wouldn't mind going back to Richmond - great city. Well, good luck Jam w/ whatever you do. Hate to see you leave GA. I’ve been here for 22 years; good state.

You are right, the house needs a lot of updating which I have not done. However my agent advised me to sell as-is and to see what happens. I've lived in GA my whole life and I'm ready for a change. @Megan I think not having a car would be liberating. I wish I didn't have to drive. Having a motorcycle or moped would be good. @Michael Thanks! @G News is an interest for lots of people like going to the movies is for you. Thanks for the Hands On ATL suggestion. @Lou It depends on what part of California you’re talking about. You are right, the house needs a lot of updating which I have not done.

@Michael Thanks!

@G News is an interest for lots of people like going to the movies is for you. Thanks for the Hands On ATL suggestion.

I lived downtown for 8 mos. and while it was cool; it just didn't have the same luster I thought it would. The crime and panhandlers were a drag; it was a pain to get to work, and I spent too much money going out. Yah, Mableton isn't the hip place, but I have a great commute, house, and can still get downtown in 15 minutes. Just appreciate what you have - you could rent your house and go live somewhere temporarily; make sure it's the right choice; IT is good for that b/c I could go somewhere and contract for 6 mos - something I have considered.

Ca. too, but Ga is home and California has more problems than almost any stuff. The cost of living, real estate, and job market are TERRIBLE. I think the grass is always greener on the other side. Yah, I'd say selling your house now is a bad idea; you will get basement price for it. I'd say if you really want to sell it you'd have to do some major landscaping and upates on kitchen bathroom; not sure if you have done that; haven't been over in a while. You have a lot of friends here too. I lived in several places and I think Athens and Atlanta are the only 2 places for me; maybe Asheville. Jam – I like So.

Go easy on America...I appreciate it so much right now...you have no idea. Not having your phone, your mac or your car will start to wear on you, trust me. But I am so glad you had a good time and those kids are really cute. Hey, welcome home. Go easy on America…I appreciate it so much right now…you have no idea.

I totally feel you in every regard. We are constantly pulled by contrasting ideas, desires and emotions. It's hard to know God's will, but there's something to be said about the journey to find it. Struggle makes us strong, and Lord knows I'm pumping some major iron right now. I hope I get to go on another mission trip, and know that if I do I will struggle with these same emotions. I hope that we figure out a way to resolve them without ignoring or perverting our passion. Keep writing holmes, you've got a lot of stuff that needs to be heard. That’s great stuff man.

Sometimes it makes me feel dumb because other people like to argue politics or things of that nature. I guess I rather be clueless than get i a tizzy over that stuff. I have enough to deal with in a 4ft radius of myself each day than to worry over that stuff. I know what you are saying about gratitude. Someday I would like to live in a small town and enjoy life's simpler pleasures. Keep your spirit alive http://www.handsonatlanta.org/ I never read or watch the news EVER.
