Tate Taylor brings Hollywood to Natchez

The city of Natchez, though small, is big on history and intrigue. Positioned high on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, Natchez is old, dating back to 1716 – by far the oldest settlement on the river. It is so old that it has over 1,000 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. From grand Antebellum homes to mid-century modern commercial buildings, just about every decade since the city was founded is represented in its architecture. That’s one of the things that makes Natchez an ideal spot as the Hollywood of the South.

A Call to Listen

If being too quick to speak with our tongues makes us too slow to listen to God and to others, so also does being quick to anger in our hearts. And in many cases, a fast flow of words is the sign of a quick temper. Heat and passion are not necessarily expressions of fidelity and godliness. They may be the opposite, and our forcefulness may be a cause of stumbling rather than of helpfulness.
