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?

Oppelo church, Conway County
There's no sign outside of this fine old church. Has it got a congregation?

Liberty Hill Baptist, Little Rock
My brother and I restored this set of windows last month.
The purple Waterglass was introduced in the 1980's, so they're not that old. They were just installed poorly and were falling out of the frames.
We built the door panels to match the windows above about five years ago.
The church has a beautifully decorated vaulted ceiling.
I believe the sanctuary dates to 1965.
The church was formally the home for Asbury United Methodist Church, which moved west in 1982.

Earle Baptist, Crittenden County
The Gothic entrance is all that remains of the church that was destroyed by an F3 tornado in 2008. While it doesn't exactly blend with the new plan, it serves as a bittersweet connection to the church's (and the town's) past.

Further north on Highway 31 is Jesus' Diner...
...serving up manna from heaven three times a week.
