Well, we used to live in St. Mary's, Georgia, so it's not like we don't know how life is in the deep south, but....
A serious question so it gets a serious answer.....
A variety of things Brad... Location, finances, jobs, age, schools, demographics, weather, are but a few of the reasons.
For instance, I'd like to move to the southern part of NC or the northern part of SC. Have wanted to for over a decade. But my wife works for the state, and she still has 6+ years to go before she can retire with a full pension. If we were to leave now, we'd lose her pension and all her health benefits. With the new Obama health care
taxes,
it would be impossible for us to loose those benefits and survive. It sucks, but there it is. So we're stuck here.
Plus I think we're getting to the point in our lives where it's too late to learn an entirely new language. Y'all speak kinda funny ....

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
