Wow, such natural beauty! And the water looks beautiful! It's kinda cool seeing where you were at at the time we were texting. My view wouldn't be so impressive lol!
About the three churches, no wonder our country is no longer a Christian country. I believe God has been removing his candlestick as to remove the ugly that's entered his Church.
In our area, most of the small churches are dwindling and the pews are filled with older people that refuse to unite with their brethren across the street while they continually examine the sliver in their brothers eye.
After 18 years at our current church, my wife and I are starting to attend a different church. While unconventional, we attend Bible Study class at our old church, then promptly leave to go to worship at the new church.
We've been doing this for almost 2 months...nobody has said anything to us about it.
