Corals
            My VZ navigator bellows “You’ve arrived at your destination on the left!” I look up and realize that I’m pulling into valet at The Capital Building on East Paces Ferry Road.  I’ve passed this place many times. However, without the guidance of my GPS I couldn’t find the way back.   A tall man in a uniform opens my door and greets me with a hardy “Hello!” He then proceeds to direct my good friend Diggy and me to an elevator. As we are escorted in, he tips his hat and gives us one last tip “The restaurant is on the eighth floor.” After a smooth ride up we hear…Ding! The door opens and we are greeted by our host “Welcome, Gentlemen, to The Capital Grille. Will there be two…

It’s that time again…the month of February will be here in just a few days!  People will begin to obsess about what he or she should get for that very special valentine.  Flowers, candy, and different stuffed animals start to appear everywhere you look.  From department stores to local gas stations, one can find many gifts for that special someone.  Is this really what the “big day” is all about?  Do people really believe that only materialistic things are the only way to show your love and affection for another person?  It is important not to get lost or caught up in all things that glitter.Do you ever take the time out to show God how much you love him?  Do you dedicate a whole day to him showering him…

“So its boo season . . .”

Corals
How many of us have heard this infamous phrase? Well if you haven’t, be prepared because you will! It’s starting to get cold outside and the largest gift giving holiday is fast approaching so people feel the need to be paired up and I can’t say I blame them! On a personal note, I recently broke it off with the man I was in love with for the past year and a half and when I’m crawling in to bed alone at night I would rather have someone there waiting for me. The want of companionship is nothing to be ashamed of, in fact it’s human nature. No matter what anyone says, NOBODY enjoys being alone 100% of the time. The main concern I have is that I don’t want…
