Hi Salty
Thanks for the response. I didn't notice the other thread until tonight. I am not familiar with the way that boards function. So, I am trying to learn how to navigate around.
You are probably thinking of Draper Valley Pentecostal Holiness church, which sits just off of interstate 81 (somewhere around exit 86, I think.) But, that is very close to DV Baptist. DV Baptist is at exit 89, and is approximately 1/2 mile off of the interstate. It is possible that you might be able to see the church from the interstate in the winter, when the leaves are gone.
While this is a nice area to live in, jobs are extremely scarce. The Pulaski / Dublin area job market has died out largely over the past few years. The Volvo plant is still going fairly strong. They lay off a few hundred people every couple of years, and then bring some of them back. And then do it again. But, they are the best employer in the area, by far, when it comes to pay rates and benefits.
All of the furniture factories have closed. No jobs have come in to take their place.
I live in Marion, which is about 40 miles west. I drove that 80 mile round trip three times a week for seven years. But, my spiritual health was slipping, at least partly because the pastor got old, and retired on the job. Unfortunately, he pretty much quit studying, but he won't leave the pulpit. He continually took a 15 minute message and drug it out to 50 or 60 minutes. I love good preaching, and don't minute an hour message. But, it gets old when there is a lot of blabbing and repetition involved. We heard the same stories so many times that you could recite them from memory when he started telling them again. So, fortunately by God's grace, I found the PCA church where the pastor does study and teach the Bible diligently. I wish I had left years earlier. But, it is hard to break the comfort zone.
Have a nice evening,
Ron
