Bethel Church

One of the favorite churches I love to visit and spend time in is not some of the big fancy ones around here with ornate interiors and intricate window scenes. Instead, it's Bethel Presbyterian Church in Claiborne County. It's completely unadorned, but oh the peace that can be found in its simplicity. You can find other posts about this church in the archives, but we passed by it the other day and I am compelled to stop each time just to spend a few minutes in its solitude. My friend Robert Walker was with me, and as the Bible says about where two or three are gathered, there He is also. It's true. We could feel his presence around us. Like a warm blanket on a cold morning, you could feel His love envelop us. How can I describe the feeling? Peace.

Windsor Ruins

If you have never been to Windsor Ruins, this is the perfect weekend to do so. Grab those family members up off the couch and go for an adventure! For you see, Windsor Ruins will not always be here. For as time goes by, the columns keep deteriorating. Even on this trip, some bricks had come loose from one of the columns and were scattered at its base. Mother Nature is not going to wait for you and all it is going to take is one tornado to take this Mississippi treasure to memory status. Better yet, go for the stillness the place offers. Stand among the columns and just listen to the quietness of nature around you. It's a wonderful feeling...just you and the Lord together...again.
