Georgetown is a little more than "right outside Austin"!!!! When you leave Austin first you go through Pflugerville, then Round Rock and then you finally get to Georgetown.
Hearing those names brings back memories, went to most of my school years in Round Rock, Skateboarded in Pflugerville, jumped off cliffs into a large lakes outside of Georgetown. If I didn't live in California, the Austin area would be most likely where I would live.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

If you have not been in awhile you would be amazed how that along the interstate from Austin to Georgetown it is just about one continuous stretch of development. Used to you really felt like you were driving to another town when you went from Round Rock to Georgetown.
I agree that Central Texas is a great place. It has just gotten too hot for me though. When I lived there a decade ago we had a few summer days in July and August that were 100+ degrees. Now most of the summer is in the triple digits. Year before last wen I was there in September it was over 100 and was somthing like the ninth day in a row it had been.

Get Al Gore to visit. That'll make it snow.
Personally, I won't go past the desert and into central Texas - and certainly not east Texas before about October. Human beings can't live in that heat and humidity.
Georgetown is a little more than "right osutside Austin"!!!! When you leave Austin first you go through Pflugerville, then Round Rock and then you finally get to Georgetown.
not so much, 10 minutes down i-35 doesn't exactly constitute a trek of epic proportions. o I used to live in Marble Falls and commute to Austin every day. Wasn't like I was recommending 1st upc of marble falls or asking the guy to drive to dallas.

That explains a lot about me, huh?
I grew up in Dallas, but prefer East TX now. Although I really don't like the humidity.

In the 80's I lived in Pflugerville and worked in Georgetown for a couple of years. Trust me it was not a 10 minute drive.

Did an online look-up. Wow. There are a lot of "Acts 2:38" churches in Austin!
Yup. David Barnard and Rex Johnson both have fairly large UPC churches and Randy and Kenneth Phillips fairly large independent churches.
