Phillip Phillips Day

I couldn't let the day go by without mentioning Phillip Phillips.  If you have been keeping up with American Idol, you have heard this name. It is kinda hard to not keep up with AI around here since Phillip is from our area!!  If you haven't heard, Phillip has made it to the top three.  He came home this weekend and I cannot express the excitement in the air in the Albany/Leesburg area.  He flew in last night and there was a parade and concert today.  I don't know Phillip personally, but I have to say I am so proud of him and how he is representing our area.  It's been so much fun to see such an amazing talent emerge from our area!

I have been really excited lately to see all the wonderful things coming from our city.  From athletes, musicians, artists and even movies being filmed here, it's been awesome to see our city/area shine! I know Albany has it's problems. What city doesn't? But, I choose to look at all the great things and be thankful for all this city has to offer.  I believe this city is called to be a city of unity and excellence, a city that is a light! And to me, it looks like we're headed in that direction! God loves this city and I am not ashamed to say I love Albany and am proud to be a part of it!

Don't forget to vote for Phillip Phillips in the American Idol finals this week!!!
