Quick Trip

Yesterday afternoon we drove to Cochran, GA for a speaking engagement with FCA at Middle Georgia College. Upon our departure from Marietta we had the privilege of being stuck in rush hour traffic. Lesson #1: Take it from someone who has lived in Metro Atlanta for 9 years...don't travel during the hours of 6:30AM-9AM and 4PM-7PM. For those of you that rush hour is not an option my suggestion is for you to purchase a helicopter! Ha! Anyway, our 2 hour drive quickly turned into a 4 hour drive because of the traffic. However, neither of us minded because Cody caught up on his podcasts and I caught up on naps! I had never heard of Middle Georgia College and upon our arrival to Cochran I was beginning to believe we had been "punked". We soon found out there is such a place and students do attend the school but the town is extremely small (only a McDonalds and Subway because they closed the TacoBell)!! We learned that MGC is known for it's aviation school and we met quite a few future Delta and AirTran pilots. The FCA at Middle GA is only 2 years old and has grown from 15 to over 65 students weekly. Cody shared about what having a relationship with Christ truly means...LIFE! Not just life in the sense of eternity (even though that is an unbelievable reward) but life right now! We didn't get to hang out long because we had to drive home (we weren't really up for a night in the Budget Inn of Cochran) but we did get to meet a few great students! Thankfully we made it home a lot faster than our trip to Cochran. Of course that might have something to do with the fact that we followed aforementioned lesson and drove between 10:30PM-1AM!! I'm so proud to be able to travel with an awesome speaker and my partner in crime! We have the best job in the world!
