driving my life away

K so not a fan of big cities this trip, like Atlanta was just too big I couldn't wait to get out of there but I did stop there so I could go to the Ebenezer Baptist Church (beside the Martin Luther King historical centre) for a service. I am glad I did stay for the service it was totally awesome, I had wanted to get to the 8 am service so I could get on the road earlier but I slept in so 11 am it was. Man the dancing the singing and normally when there is a sermon I tend to tune out but the sermon today was delivered by a woman pastor and was about flipin the script.

It was a decent sermon on the being responsible for your choices and if change is needed then flip the script. I am generally not a religious person but I really enjoyed her sermon and loved loved the singing, so worth staying. Thank you Jesus.

Next stop was the Smokey Mountain National Park and man BEAUTIFUL! Just plain gorgeous. I loved the drive through the area even if it took 3 hrs it was soo worth it. Such a deep lush green; I checked out Cherokee Indian Reserve though didn't go to Harrah's Casino (me and casinos aren't really tight) but the shops with the bows and arrows and tomahawks made in china were pretty tight :p. I noted at the gas bar in Cherokee there was a sign that said Live Indian Dancing - perhaps Lafond Gas Bar should consider that to entice customers.....

I have to say Tennessee is quite a beautiful area wowser not sure what I expected but love it. I am still looking for a confederate flag though, come out come out.

Tomorrow is Gettysburg day; I guess I should brush up on the civil war........
