Pleasant Garden

And we were there for two years, and then he got a newspaper job in Greensboro, and we moved to Greensboro.

And then lived around different places, Winston-Salem, Pleasant Garden, but around that area.

And, you know, the children were born there and raised the kids there.

So you said that you got into music late, but you probably were interested in music.

Well, amen, amen.

I was in a pulpit at Mount Pleasant Church in my home city of the Greensboro, North Carolina, Pleasant Garden area, and I preached through Psalm 51, which is a great psalm of David, creating me a clean heart, O God.

And I think even though that's Old Testament, it really lends itself to a gospel, evangelistic, New Testament-style message, doesn't it?

It does.

One of the reasons my wife and I, we go and vote.

And I'm usually the first in line at the Fentress Township in Guilford County in our precinct of Pleasant Garden, North Carolina.

I'm usually the first one at the door, I am, because I get up early and I'm not trying to be dramatic here, but the idea that there is the consent of the governed and the idea that I've got a stewardship, a vote, a voice, and I can go and get up early and I can, with the best ability I have, try to vote for godly, constitutionalist, people of character and conviction, why would I not do that? I know it's raining, it's cold, you gotta wait in line, but you think about this.

I calculated, I wrote an article for townhall.com this week, it takes to go and vote, no matter where you live, between 45 minutes and two hours maybe a little bit longer.

In the meantime, remember, Jesus is as close by as a prayer.

And if you've put your faith in Him, you are forever His.

Uh, you, you might appreciate this.

Uh, the town where I grew up, uh, I shouldn't say town, it's out in the county, Pleasant Garden, North Carolina, founded in the 1700s, our little farming community was birthed out of a John Wesley revival.

And, you know-

Awesome

So that's what today's all about.

Um, born May 15th, 1980, in Pleasant Garden, North Carolina.

What's Pleasant Garden? Where's that at?

Pleasant Garden is seven miles from downtown Greensboro.

It is a little bitty country town that my family started a nursing home business in 1953.

They were the seventh nursing home business in the state.

So, um, my family just grew up there.

And my dad moved from North Caro- I mean, from New York to Greensboro, Pleasant Garden, 'cause it was seven miles from Richard Petty's, and that's where my dad was working at the time.

I've told this story many times for those that have heard me tell it, you know, forgive my repetition, but Brother E.W., I'm going to say 10 years ago, we did a missions conference in Greensboro, North Carolina.

That was originally my home region, Pleasant Garden out in the country, really.

And we get emails from people that know where Pleasant Garden is.

But Greensboro is the larger city.

I live maybe about four hours from where you live, Brother E.W.
