This morning we spent some time in my old hood of Signal Mountain. It is not far from where I live but my life today has me in the valley. We had brunch and then drove around on the streets I walked as a kid. Growing up on Signal helped shape me to be the person I am today. That community has changed but there is still shadows of a nerdy kid who lived in community by being a part of a great family, going to school, working for my grandfather, worshipping at Signal Mountain Baptist and supporting the institutions and businesses that made it a special place to be as a younger version of myself. Without it I would be a very different person but that could be said about anyone.
