We have recently moved to Pearsall. I nice community in South Texas located about 45 minutes southwest of San Antonio. This is definately a new start! Coming from Muldoon which was a great place to live, but small, and then moving into a community of 7,000 people has been quite the culture shock. Muldoon was a quite place, except when the trains come through at all hours of the night. The pace of life in Muldoon was definately slower. But here in Pearsall, things are different. Here's why...
1. It is only 4 blocks to the grocery store.
2. It is only 1 mile to Wal-Mart.
3. It is about 1 mile to the schools.
4. There are choices for restaurants in which to dine.
5. Police!
Life in Pearsall is definately different.
That reminds me of the change that we have available to us in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behond new things have come."
The old is gone and the new has come. Do we dismiss the old and completely forget about it? Well, in some regards we do because we do not want to live the old lifestyle. But we learn from it, we grow from it, we mature through the changes that come and go.
I pray that you will discover this life-change in Jesus Christ.

I love your refreshing outlook. We often tend to see Pearsall as limited in choices, HEB and Walmart to small, etc... We should all strive to see the brighter side.
