Doesn't seem like that's what you mean to communicate. Just a random thought.

There are very distinct challenges to living here and raising a family, and we turned down a handful of "good jobs" to plant ourselves here. We certainly recognize how strange this looks in light of other choices we could make that would be much more mainstream. And we certainly would not be here if we did not feel compelled by God to do what we are doing. My family does live here by choice.

If you had the choice would you live around the USC campus? Eventually you will move because it is a run down area that is not a place to raise children unless you have to. Do you mean to tell us that you will remain there once you land a good job and have the means to own something in a safer area? They are right.

I have an audio tape of a sermon he gave at my denomination's annual pastor's conference many years ago. I literally listened to it until the tape wore out. He's a great preacher!
