If you ever find yourself in our vicinity, you may want to check out some of our spectacular waterfalls. We have so many wonderful places to visit that have waterfalls that you will be breathe taken by them.

If you make it to all of these beautiful falls you will have made some wonderful memories of what Georgia has to offer.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Minnehaha Falls, My most favorite of all so far! I thought I wouldn’t get there because I was having trouble breathing that day but it was well worth every step to get there!
High Falls, We visited the falls here in 1994 shortly after we got baptized. A week after we visited there they had a flood and it took out one of the last wooden bridges in Georgia. I had taken pictures of the bridge and so glad I did. I painted a saw blade of it to remember that trip.

Toccoa Falls, We took our kids and they loved it and two grandkids there after our Daughter got married in Stephens County. We couldn’t keep them out of the water! Recently the falls flooded but not as bad as it did in 1977 when the dam broke above the falls killing 39 people. This falls is the tallest falls East of Mississippi. It is an amazing sight to see!

Tallulah Falls and the Gorge, Now it  is amazing how the gorge has carved itself through the rocks here and the view is unbelievable and the Falls are just as amazing on a drive around the lake. Karl Wallenda crossed the gorge in 1970 on a high wire!( karl-wallendas-high-wire-walk-across-tallulah-gorge-1970/ ) No you cannot get me to hardly look over that height let alone walk across it!

Anna Ruby Falls, We have taken our kids here too it is an amazing road through the forest to get to the bottom and there is just a short walk to the falls.

Amicolola Falls one more beauty to see.

     We have made a trip to see many others in the North Georgia area and many great memories too! I love to listen to the water run it is such a soothing serene sound, not to mention it is letting us see some of the most beautiful places that our grand creator made for us. So when and if you want to see all these wonders and you are in the area keep this great  list and see how many you can see while you are here.

     Quote of the day:

"We are all naturally seekers of wonders. We travel far to see the majesty of old ruins, the venerable forms of the hoary mountains, great waterfalls, and galleries of art. And yet the world's wonder is all around us; the wonder of setting suns, and evening stars, of the magic spring-time, the blossoming of the trees, the strange transformations of the moth..." ~ Albert Pike

     Scripture of the day:

Genesis 1:20  Then God said: “Let the waters swarm with living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” And God created the great sea creatures and all living creatures that move and swarm in the waters according to their kinds and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Zep 2:3 Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, Who observe his righteous decrees. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah’s anger.

Are You Prepared for what is to come?

     We have all seen our share of disaster or are waiting for it to come to us. So many have lost everything they own but have survived with their lives. We have heard of earth quakes in the last weeks that have been stronger than many others in the past. There have been floods and hurricanes fires and wars. Many have lost loved ones to sickness and old age. How many of us have read the Bible lately to see these thinks have been forewarned for all to be ready for. (Matt 24) How many have Prayed to Our Father in Heaven who's name is Jehovah* asking him for holy spirit and the strength to continue through all this devastation? Or maybe you refuse to know his name and let your ears to be tickled by false teachings and empty hopes(2 Tim 4:3-4).
      I have the greatest faith that I will come out of all of this and be brought to a paradise right here on earth. I may even lose my life, but I know that no matter what the outcome I will be resurrected to that wonderful paradise and made whole once again.  I pray to have my family with me every day, hoping they will remember who their true Father is, Jehovah. He and He along can bring us through whatever there is to come.  I trust in Him and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, for he is my savior and through him I will gain everlasting live. (John 17:3) I continue to pray for all who are suffering through these last days. Matt. 24:36-39“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37“Just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.”
     Will you be prepared for what will be to come, or will you be like those of Noah's day?   Who will you put your faith in? None of us truly knows when our last breath will come, if it does at all, but knowing that there is a paradise awaiting those with the faith will see that beautiful garden and share it with all the others without wars or prejudices, sickness or death. All things will be given as intended "In the beginning"(Gen 1:1) How grand that time will be.
     I am so looking forward to seeing all my loved ones I have lost in death and meeting those like Noah and Daniel and many more who never gave up their faith. We will live in an abundance of food and new health. I sure hope you choose to join us.
      Rev 21:3-4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
 

Matt. 6:9“You must pray, then, this way:

“‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified 10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth"

*PS 83:18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah,

You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
