I am fascinated by a ministry along Hwy. 27 between Georgetown and Monticello. He or she has or had been called to post religious messages along the roadside. Just little notes, really. I have seen them for years but only took the time this past weekend to document all of them that I could get to. I would like to talk to whoever did this, but I couldn't find out any information. There is a small place on the road where many signs appear, it looks like what was a campground and picnic area, and I will show those at the end of the series. But for the next few days, may I present the Sermons of Hwy. 27.
I love these, and all the signs unshamedly posted on small roads(except, of course, those horrific billboard faces exclaiming about hell, which scare any little kids in the car).
ReplyDeleteI always want to know about the folks who take their time to do such things, for the benefit of strangers. And I wonder how they choose the texts and the subjects; I suppose short, to-the-point signs are best, for reading in a hurry.
I sorta sometimes think of these as the Believers' Burma Shave campaign, and much longer lasting.
