Funny, I left Seattle (my home of 45 years) to central, rural KY in 2011 because of this stuff. I bought the place two weeks before the 2008 election. I make a lot of boneheaded decisions but this was the third best one of my life. Second best was choosing my wife. First best was accepting Jesus as my savior.
go, go..and GO. You will NEVER go wrong following our Savior. :) Whatever He is telling you: Do.
