A Really Great Restaurant Experience: Restaurant 2 – 4 – 6 in Decatur, GA

Jenny and I ate here before visiting the Van Gogh Experience. The food was terrific, and the service was even better. We shared a spinach salad with a vinaigrette dressing and parmesan – so good! We then enjoyed Chicken Marsala for 2. It was amazing. We were far too full for dessert but brought enough home for another full meal!


A Most Intriguing Audible Book: The Return of the Prodigal Son

This is so good. Henri Nouwen writes with such a fresh passion regarding Rembrandt’s Prodigal Son. I have found myself replaying thought after thought as Nouwen unpacks unique perspectives about this parable that Jesus shared.


A Wonderful Movie Starring Dennis Quaid: Blue Miracle

Based on a true story, this movie is light-hearted, encouraging, clean, and fun. I found myself tearing up a bit as the story was beautifully portrayed. A washed-up fisherman has to pair up with a man that runs a bankrupt orphanage to fish in one of the world’s most prestigious tournaments.


My New Favorite Store and Mexican Food: Guadalajara Supermercado in Norcross, GA

No website, excellent service. Fresh fruits and veggies. But the big find is the taqueria in the back of the store. Best tacos I’ve ever eaten!
5505 Buford Highway in Norcross, GA


A Wonderful Quote from
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

“True love is inexhaustible. The more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.”
