Sit down. Relax. Take a deep breath. Enjoy a few moments in this quiet place. Come on in to a place that is Just South of Forever, a place where you will find familiar memories, quiet wisdom, and nuggets of truth that you will want to carry in the pocket of your jeans as you make your way home. Here, there are stories that feel like your own, inspirations that will take you a little bit further down the road, and poems to put music back into your soul. And weaving gently through it all is the rhythm of the footsteps of a friend, walking beside you, reminding you that you are not alone. You'll make it just fine. And that contentment is a cold glass of sweet tea. So go ahead. Inhale the honeysuckle and the wild privet. And in these pages, revisit your days at the lake. Remember your childhood friends. Ponder the meaning of love. Ruminate on a psalm or two. Hear the story of your life. We have saved you a place right here-just south of forever.
