Last Sunday evening our church had a marvelous Christmas celebration they called “A Christmas Journey.” We listened to our children, our youth, and our adults proclaim the coming of the infant Jesus, all under changing lights that made the auditorium sparkle and caused me to think of the night skies above the shepherds on that wonderful night. Cynthia Clawson and her husband, Reagan Courtney, joined us to share their gifts of song and verse. I don’t count myself a musician, but I’m grateful for the creative gifts of so many others who can praise God through melody, harmony, and rhythm.

This wonderful pipe organ at First Baptist Church in Oklahoma City has black keys instead of white, blond wood rather than dark, and brown knobs in place of white. The reversals attract the eye and cause me to wonder at the constraints of convention. How often do we assume something is correct simply because it’s always been that way or we’ve never experienced it differently?

Outside First Baptist Church in Oklahoma City is a serene courtyard with a beautiful Redbud Tree. Unfortunately, the gate is typically locked and it is seldom used.

Here’s another view of the abandoned church I posted back in March. I pulled those photos out today and played with this one. I like the black & white effect, especially as it moves from shadow to light.

There is a sign as one enters St. Louis, OK on Highway 59. It says, “Welcome to St. Louis. Home of 179 Friendly People, one Pyromaniac, and one Busy Body.” It’s a cute sign. I found this abandoned church within the town limits. Looks like a “fire accident” waiting to happen.
