Little Vine Primitive Baptist, Logan County

I love this photograph. My brother Jim snapped it two autumns back. He says he didn't do anything other than point and shoot, but it came out looking like a surreal diorama.

The church is at the foot of Mt. Magazine in Blue Mountain. It's one of many Primitive Baptist churches around the nation called Little Vine.

It's another one of those old time dual-entrance churches.
Look at the high windows; they let in God's light, yet discourage wandering eyes.
And how many churches still have screen doors?

Happy New Year.

Bethlehem Miss. Baptist, De Valls Bluff

Main church, auxiliary church, and a Thanksgiving message.

(It's never too late for gratitude, is it?)

What's great about searching for churches to photograph in the countryside is there are all these signs to point you in the right direction. Usually, they even include the distance you'll have to drive in order to find them. What they don't tell you is how rough the road is leading to the church and whether the picture is worth the detour.

This sign is just down the road from the previous church and, no, it has no distance marked, hence, no church picture. I was running late and didn't want to chance it. Nice sign, though. Very seasonal.

Faith Landmark Miss. Baptist, McCrory

This is my personal favorite of all the church windows I have designed and built. I wanted it to look like a quilt.

Can you tell the church is in farm country?
