Sermons of Hwy. 27

It seems that at one time the person who created the Sermons of Hwy. 27 also created a picnic/campground area that people could drive through and see more of the signs. I think it is called The Bible Lane from the sign at the entrance. Here are most of the signs posted along the front of the road. It looked like the road went on back in the woods, but I did not venture there.

Remembering 9/11

The Vicksburg National Military Park set up a nice memorial for the victims of 9/11. Three thousands flags were planted into the hillside at the front of the park behind the Indiana Monument. I visited twice on Saturday, early in the morning and then right at sunset. It is a stirring tribute to that day and I offer my thanks to the park for doing so.

This is a continuation of the Sermons of Hwy. 27 that began on Monday. Scroll on down and take a look at it. The last four photos are my favorite. The words Love, Joy and Peace are nailed to three trees standing side by side. Nice message.

Sermons of Hwy. 27

Here is the third in a series of sermon signs posted along Hwy. 27 between Georgetown and Monticello. This series began Monday.

Sermons of Hwy. 27

Here are some more sermon signs from along Hwy. 27 between Georgetown and Monticello. I guess the writer was trying to be cute with the spelling on the second sign and the top word in the bottom sign is NO. All the letters for all these signs are snipped from tin, except for the word EXIT in the last one. He recycled another sign for that word. This series started on Sept. 7.

Sermons of Hwy. 27

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.

Slough on the farm

This is a slough on our family's farm in Grenada, MS. Water's low.

Mont Helena church

The old church at Mont Helena near Rolling Fork is one of my favorite places to visit and photograph. This piano is the reason why. It sits in the shell of the old building, but still looks majestic to me. I don't know why the people who own the place have let it stay in there for so long. Or why it has not been stolen or torn to pieces. I believe it is a testament to the spirit of the old church that it lingers. Just a reminder that this was once a vivacious place of worship. The old building doesn't have much longer for this world as gravity is fixing to overcome it. But I believe the old piano will stand to the end. It's only fitting, I guess.
