Dear AT&T, with your 3G network a full strength signal, would it be too much to ask to send my email? Seriously. #fb

Majestic Landscape

I know the mountains are just mountains... and these photos aren't anything spectacular. But for the first time since I can remember, I was totally and completely in awe of the magnificent mountainous landscape. There's something about the Appalachians that allow you to forget about your troubles, if only for a moment.

Ephesians 2:4-5

Reminded once again of God's relentless mercy, grace, and forgiveness.

Ephesians 2:4-5
4
 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!)

It's amazing to me that no matter what we're going through in our lives or what we've done, God is always... I mean always there. Our lives can have ugly written all over it, but God is a forgiving God. His mercy and grace is never-ending, and his Love is greater than anything we will ever know.

Most satisfying lunch recommendation. Ever.

I wanted to give a big shout out to @MrsCaffeinated for the most fantastic lunch recommendation ever. Where? The Gourmet Shop in five points. 

With me not being very familiar with the restaurants in five points, it wasn't a surprise that I hadn't heard about it. But her suggestion for the 'incredible chicken salad' was spot on. I walked there from campus, technically the other side of campus, but after the meal I quickly came to the conclusion that I would have walked from the other side of South Carolina just to eat the grilled chicken salad. The chicken came out steaming. The salad had all sorts of greens and veggies. It was simple, filling and oh-so-yummy.

If I had a lady-friend, I'd venture to say It'd be the perfect spot for a mid-afternoon lunch on the patio. I will say however, I'm certain it can get pretty hectic during lunch hour because, like many restaurants in 5 points, there's not much sitting room. Regardless, this is one of those places you. must. try.

Google Voice with your existing number

I've come to love Google Voice with all its insanely cool features such as voice mail transcripting and personalized greetings. However, up until now Google Voice has required subscribers to get a new phone number to gain access to the features.

We've learned that by simply forwarding unanswered calls from your mobile to your Google Voice number, you can have Google Voice manage your voice mails. However, by doing this you are forfeiting some other features such as SMS.

Today, it's all going to change. Google is now offering the ability to keep your existing number. Hooray! I'm going to experiment with the new feature later on this afternoon. I only hope that I can now take advantage of the features I'm desperatly wanting to use.
