Where I Plan to Retire

Man, have I got a sinus infection. My cheeks feel like someone took a jack-hammer to them. But, as I was sitting here in front of the keyboard sending out notices that tonight's meeting at GCA has been cancelled, Jeff dropped me a link to a story in U.S. News and World Report, listing the Top 10 Retirement Spots in the country. And there, among the better-known cities, like Prescott, AZ. and San Francisco, is Smyrna, Tennessee! Yep. Little Smyrna, home of GCA, is getting national attention.

What I did not know was that our town is named after a Presbyterian Church (which explains the reference to one of the seven churches of Asia listed in Revelation 1:11 and 2:8) which used to sit where Sewart Air Force Base and Smyrna Airport now reside. Once again, we see the influence of Christian life and culture on our community.

So, if you're thinking about retiring, or you'd just like to live near like-minded Sovereign Grace folk, check out Smyrna, TN. I mean, we're in the Top 10. How can you argue with that? :-)
