The Deep South got deeper yesterday as we drove through the streets of Savannah. Silver-gray moss waved us on as we drove down tree-lined streets and cobblestone alley ways.
Savannah holds tightly to its charm and tradition which provides a refreshing reminder of days gone by. It is a joy to drive by the old sun-bleached houses as they rest behind picket fences and swinging gates.
Horse-drawn carriages rattle their way through town giving visitors a personal tour of the old city. Savannah's rich history is one reason folks are drawn back to this Low Country. Another reason is to get one more taste of their "sweet tea". There's nothing like it!
Our visit also included a wonderful morning of worship at Savannah Christian Church. Cam Huxford is the pastor; however, he turned the pulpit over to a guest pastor yesterday. Gene Apple from the Willow Creek Church in Chicago gave a challenge for all of us to love people unlike ourselves. The church was warm and friendly. It was a great place to spend the morning. Cam & Sarah invited us to their home for lunch. Sarah had prepared a delightful meal which included....of course.... "sweet tea"!
We experienced SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY at it's best!
Love,
Martha (and Howard)
