a Journey to see A Peanut Farmer in Plains Georgia

Sunday December 13th 2015

On November 29th Jimmy Carter informed the congregation of his church in Plains, the Maranatha Baptist Church, that his cancer had disappeared. A week later on December 6th the world was informed of this good news. I was planning to be in Ludowici Georgia on December 12th and decided to visit Plains to attend his Sunday School Class. The drive from Ludowici to Plains is nearly 4 hours so an early start was necessary.
