One of my very good friends is helping to raise a small local church house this week. It is being built of local stone and logs. Should have a real rustic beauty to it when complete.

yep, old churches are something, so many precious memories in them. Sad to see so many having to close up.

That was great Ruthe! I just now realized that was Dustie singing. Those churches remind me of all my travels on the back roads. -Jim

I can look out the front door of my theater and see four churches right now. There is a bunch of small churches around here. I loved that video Ruthe.
