Sorry to tell you, the "REV" as you call him, is not still lingering around watching over the congregation. That is not even consistent with the message that he preached. The Bibles teaches, "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." Our spirit does not linger on this earth, but is immediately in heaven or hell, depending upon the decision to accept or deny Jesus Christ and follow Him while living.
@pastorrdh I'm not wanting to make you mad, but your post is incorrect. You should consider reading the Holy Bible. It does not state anywhere in it that when "we" die we go immediatly to heaven or hell,
That IS the original balcony; it just doesn't wrap around all the way to the backstage wall. It now stops at the proscenium wall in order to provide space for a back stage area...
I miss the wrap around Bal. That was our favorite place to sit for the opry. I remember when it was a dump. Still can't belive at one point they were going to tear it down.
you are allowed on stage for a photo op. that you have to purchase, of course. The Ryman is truly an amazing place, I loved it and felt so much of its history.
You talk about your feelings in the corridors and in the audience area but, were you allowed on stage? I took a tour there back in 1977 and that is where I felt the presence of who had performed there all those many years prior.
