Shannon's blog - goodbye doesn’t mean forever. Oct 2110th grade last night would be one of the nights that i will probably remember for a long time. it was the last show for livin lattes cafe as you may already know. livin lattes changed me for the good. it opened me up to God and for the first time in a long time i actually felt Him with me when i was there. people are all the time hatin on LL and i dont see how they could do that because its just a christian place and were not hurting anybody. LL opened me up to a whole new way to praise God. Their whole concept isnt about the money, or the coffee, or the bands. its all about the relationship you have with the Lord and the respect and love that you show to Him.

Pilot mountain needs a place like this because of just everything else going on around us can just pull us away from the relationship and the love that we show to Him. Jonathan, you are truly my hero. i dont know how you kept it going for so long with everything else happening in your busy life. you have a very big family to support and i just believe that whatever you decide to do, God will help you through anything and everything.

Pilot mountain will never be the same.
