Exploring an old primitive Baptist church in central Georgia last night, I was struck by the finality of this sign.

This is sorta near Barnesville, isn't it? If
so, we have numerous photos in and around
this church...we sing Sacred Harp there every
third sunday in May. We'll be there next
month. What were you doing there?

Yes, it is near Barnesville. I was there for
a dance which took place across the street at
the Liberty Hill meeting house (another neat old building which features a
hand-stacked stone foundation and other
beautiful touches).
I'm glad that you guys sing here. I imagine
the acoustics in this place are excellent!

As I look at the photo, I'm reminded of the
conclusion to Paul's letter to the Romans, in
which he mentions the names of many
Christians who would otherwise be known only
to God:
I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon
of the church at Cenchreae, so that you may
welcome her in the Lord as is fitting for the
saints, and help her in whatever she may
require from you, for she has been a
benefactor of many and of myself as well.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, who work with me
in Christ Jesus, and who risked their necks
for my life, to whom not only I give thanks,
but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
Greet also the church in their house. Greet
my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first
convert in Asia for Christ. Greet Mary, who
has worked very hard among you. Greet
Andronicus and Junia, my relatives who were
in prison with me; they are prominent among
the apostles, and they were in Christ before
I was. Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the
Lord. Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ,
and my beloved Stachys. Greet Apelles, who is
approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to
the family of Aristobulus. Greet my relative
Herodion. Greet those in the Lord who belong
to the family of Narcissus. Greet those
workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa.
Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard
in the Lord. Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord;
and greet his mother—a mother to me also.
Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas,
Hermas, and the brothers and sisters who are
with them. Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus
and his sister, and Olympas, and all the
saints who are with them. Greet one another
with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ
greet you. (Rom 16:1-16 NRSV) We commend them all to your loving kindness
and mercy, Father.
