Mountain High. Heaven’s Close By!
2007-12-01 04:20:00 Aptly named, Mountain High offers residents breathtaking views of Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. This gated community also boasts underground utilities, community water and wide paved streets that lead to unparalleled mountain living. Centrally located from quaint downtown Blue Ridge Georgia, and historic Murphy North Carolina, Mountain High is but a short drive to Ocoee Rafting and beautiful Lake Blue Ridge. This casually elegant and meticulously designed log home community is situated on the highest developed points of Fannin county. Here in all too rare pristine setting with nearly half of the county being United States Forestry Service.

Who Else Wants Some B-B-Q?
2007-11-15 00:18:00 The Pink Pig If you are driving on the Appalachian Highway just south of Blue Ridge Georgia, you might want to take a sharp left in Cherry Log. There you will find a quaint little old building built around 1950. It was originally built as a country store and grist mill. It was purchased by the Holloway’s in 1967. Pit cooked B-B-Q with Bud’s special sauce and homemade Brunswick stew cooked in an iron pot has made this unique place known far and wide. It has been said that the Pink Pig is to North Georgia, what the Varsity is to Atlanta. It is conveniently located to the many folks who come to the North Georgia Mountains looking to get away from it all if only for a weekend. Ask any local person where to eat and they will give you directions to the Pink Pig. The fried chicken and homemade onion rings are almost as well-known as the garlic salad made with the “secret recipe.” All food is prepared to order so be prepared to wait for your fresh hamburger or steak to cook.

Saying “Thank You”
2007-11-14 14:05:00 Thank the Lord because He is good. His love continues forever. Psalm 106:1 Worship is when you’re aware that what you’ve been given is far greater than what you can give. Worship is the awareness that were it not for His touch, you’d still be hobbling and hurting, bitter and broken. Worship is the half-glazed expression on the parched face of a desert pilgrim as he discovers that the oasis is not a mirage. Worship is the “thank you” that refuses to be silenced. We have tried to make a science out of worship. We can’t do that. We can’t do that any more than when we can “sell love” or “negotiate peace.” Worship is a voluntary act of gratitude offered by the saved to the Savior, by the healed to the Healer, and by the delivered to the Deliverer.
