Mission: Brownwood, more than Underwood's BBQ

If you mention Brownwood to anyone west of I-35 (which is not the holy highway, regardless of what certain charismatics are saying), they will ask you about Underwood's Barbecue, which is actually a Luby's style cafeteria establishment. So, in order to be able to intelligently discuss Underwood's, I bit the bullet and ate there one day... I recommend the fried chicken, BBQ beefsteak, and the chicken fried steak. Load up on the sides, too. They don't charge extra.

Here's where we stand with Mission: Brownwood. Jessica is mailing off an application for a house today. We have located a suitable home close to Brownwood High School. Hopefully, the credit report will come through okay and we'll be able to purchase the house on terms that we can afford.

The job situation is still up in the air, but Jessica and I are planning our finances in a way that we can live on a part time job until we can request state support in November.

More and more, it looks like we'll begin working out of our home until we get a congregation together that can finance their own meeting location.

More and more, God is bringing Jessica and me together to the same page as far as the Mission: Brownwood vision goes. It's exciting to see His hand working in this.

And yes, when we get to Brownwood, we'd be glad for you to visit... and yes, we can even go to Underwood's.
