so as I was dreaming of WHERE I might plant a church - downtown kept coming to mind. A lot of work and $ is going into rehabbing downtown Macon. New facades on old buildings, a new Sports Hall of Fame and Music Hall of fame, new stores, pubs, and sandwich shops. Caleb, our student minister and I went to lunch. I decided I would take a look around downtown and introduce Caleb to some areas of Macon he might not know. We had lunch at the Rookery - great burgers and walked around downtown.
It made my heart BEAT.
There was LIFE.
People walking and talking, having lunch at tables along the street.
There was the occasional homeless/street person, the hospital worker, the starched-shirted businessmen, and the whole spectrum of human colors.
That was the place.
That is the place.
