SABBATH SNAPSHOTS: INSIDE AND OUT

8/12/12 Sanctuary—a sacred place, a quiet place, inside or outside where one can meet with God. The natural beauty of God’s creation can often draw us into His Presence. Though awed, we can be still and worship regardless of all that is going on around us.
That’s my definition---this week’s pictures reveal clearly where my words fail.
Church of Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, IL. In the sanctuary stands the pew of the family.

Sunday morning parking on an island that allows NO motorized vehicles

Spire proclaiming the cross is a harbor welcome to Mackinac Island.

Reminders of my "Me and Thee" chairs---the purple one must belong to Him. After all, a King is royalty.

Great sanctuary to behold a sunrise
