First Baptist

John's mom invited us to go to church with her today because they were serving a Valentine dinner afterwards. It's a very pretty church with many, many stained glass windows, a pipe organ that I've never heard, a huge chandelier, numbered pews(wonder what that's about??), and lots of nooks and crannies. The sad part is that hardly anybody goes to church anymore. Two sisters who grew up in the church gave me a tour and told me what it used to be like and that they were sad it wasn't bursting at the seams like it used to. They showed me a steep stairway where their mother had fallen down and been hauled to the hospital. And the spot where their mother got burned when a gas stove exploded. She was a dedicated saint ;)

A wonderful way to spend the day of love...lovin' on Johns Mom. The Church is so so pretty. I just think of all the work and sacrifice that went into it, sad when they have decline in members.
