Hi.

I'm so glad you found your way to my little corner of the neighborhood! Pull up a chair and stay, and let's chat about life on the margins and loving Jesus and, obviously, where to find the best cheese dip and most life-changing books. 

Blue Skies over Atlanta: 365 and good reads

Just popping in with some of my favorite reads from around the web, and some peeks into our days around here at the Stanley Clan. Yes, we are back in our neighborhood, and we are ok and even had one of the hard-conversations (and we are still standing, yay!) Without further ado, more pictures and links than you'll know what to do with. Oh and happy Monday!

"Focusing on groceries alone will never solve deep-rooted problems, he said. “Food is important, but what’s more important is the issue of employment. We can’t create a sustainable society when we are just feeding folks. People want to feed the hungry but don’t want to ask why they are hungry.” - Stranded in Atlanta's Food Deserts
