A Really Fun Place to Grab a Light Dinner: LaGarde American Eatery in Chamblee

Jenny and I grabbed a late lunch on a beautiful Fall afternoon at LaGarde and loved the whole vibe of this little joint in Chamblee. The outside seating and fire pit were a bonus, but the food was excellent. Don’t miss the pimento cheese appetizer, and I would get either the burger (that’s a lot of meat) or the fried shrimp po-boy (that’s a lot of shrimp.) If you are looking for something different than the typical chain, you’ll probably like LaGarde.


A Really Good Read for Our Times: Respectfully, I Disagree: How to Be a Civil Person in an Uncivil Time by Jim Denison

From one of my favorite authors, Jim Denison. Two out of three Americans consider civility to be a major problem in our country today. Only 7 percent say it is not a problem at all. It seems we are all fighting to be heard, but no one’s listening. Has our culture lost the art of civility?


A Fun Novel from Stephen Coonts; The Russia Account

The Russia Account, pits CIA officer Tommy Carmellini against a murderous international financial conspiracy that leaves a trail of death and corruption, extending from a small bank in Estonia to the highest reaches of the Kremlin and the halls of Congress—perhaps even to the CIA itself, putting Admiral Jake Grafton, the head of the CIA, in the crosshairs of an assassin.


A Really Great Brunch! Flavorich in Suwanee

I know food, and I love food. This little gem on Buford Highway has the best Chicken and Waffles on the planet! If you love shrimp and grits, well, this is your place! The menu isn’t huge, but the food is so stinking good!!


A Quote from Scott Sauls

“Christianity always flourishes most as a life-giving minority, not as a powerful majority. It is through subversive, countercultural acts of love, justice, and service for the common good that Christianity has always gained the most ground.”
