I'm Here: Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts by Boundless Community on 11/13/2009 at 12:57 PM

Hi Boundless!

I'm writing you guys from the lovely island that my family has called home for 5 generations now. It may seem small to most people (just under 100 square miles), but I feel so blessed to live on one of (in my opinion) God's most beautiful creations. Now it's not perfect, I think the last single christian guy might have been spotted here around 1979, most people on the street would probably describe themselves as secular liberals, and we do have to take a 45 minute boat ride to get to "America"(or "Off-Island", as it's officially called here). But hey, it's my earthly abode, not Paradise.

My whole family loves reading "Boundless"! I don't really like reading off of a screen, so I print out articles and we pass them around. And the Podcast is terrific! The round table segment's my fave.

Thanks so much for all the work you guys are doing for the Kingdom. Your service impacts my life every day, so keep up the good work!

Abby

Greetings Boundless!

I'm in Atlanta, where things are getting stranger by the moment (i.e. all male college instituting a strict dress code because some of the young men want to wear dresses and hair extensions), but God is still on the throne! You may not hear about it on the news, but Christians are doing great works in the name of Jesus in Atlanta, GA.

I'm also writing to admit how much I adore Martha's Vineyard as well. Abby, I read your note and it brought back fond memories. I have not been to the island in a few years, but I look forward to returning soon. I am actually drinking hot cocoa from my Black Dog mug as I write.

Blessings to all,

Leah

Leah - say, there's more than one Leah posting. Could you choose, say, Leah in GA as your name? It would help us keep things straight. Thanks!

I have lived in Attleboro, MA for 8 years and still haven't made it to the Vineyard. *sigh* Someday... Also, despite the "secular liberal" bent our wonderful state has, I love it. So much. Glad to hear that you're a fan as well. :)
