World's Smallest Catholic Church - St. Martin's Catholic Church began in 1888 as a mission of St. John the Baptist Church of Fayetteville, eight miles to the west. By 1873, Warrenton had a post office, stores, a gin, and more than 100 people, most of them raising cotton, corn, and dairy products. Over the last century, the economy has gradually shifted to cattle, poultry, and the renowned antique fair along the highway between Warrenton and Round Top. According to the history of the church written by Norman C. Krischke of Schulenburg, the original St. Martin's Church in Warrenton was used for about 27 years for weddings, funerals, and an occasional mass. The oldest known grave in the one-acre cemetery next to the church is of Jan Blaha, who was born in Moravia in 1826 and died in Texas in 1889. As the roads improved and the small farms were consolidated, the population shifted to the cities. St. Martin's became less and less necessary. In 1915, the main church dismantled the Warrenton mission to build a school in Fayetteville. Using leftover lumber from the school project, parishioners built the 12-by-16-foot chapel where the original church once stood. Many of the fixtures from the original church were transferred to the Warrenton chapel, including the altar, the church bell, and many of the statues. A large oil painting of St. Martin, the patron saint of soldiers, looks down on the six rows of 12 wooden pews that will seat about 20 people. Descendants of the 62 or so people buried in the cemetery still maintain the grounds and the church. In order to keep its active status, a memorial service is held annually in the church on All Soul's Day, Nov. 11. The building is often open to visitors, with a registration book and a donation box near the double doors. This church, the historical St. Martins, is located between the towns of Round Top and Warrenton in central Texas. I am not certain how the church holds mass, but believe they do so regularly. There is more to the story of this tiny church! The painting reproduction hanging behind the altar, depicting St. Martin of Tours, takes the place of the original painting which hung there until 2002. In that year, the painting was rediscovered as the work of Johann Ignaz Berger, a prolific Czech ecclesiastical painter of the 19th century. The piece was one of a group of paintings brought by Czech immigrants in the late 1800's to hang in their new church in Fayetteville, St. John the Baptist. The paintings were stored and forgotten when the old church was torn down and rebuilt in the 1960's. All seven have been recovered, restored and re-framed and now hang once again in St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. The original frames are displayed in the back room of the Fayetteville Area Museum, on the central town square, which is in itself worth a visit.

God's word says that if we don't praise Him, even the stones will cry out (Luke 19 v 40)
Well spotted - this is not a stone!! :-) But God is so worthy to be praised that His whole creation will shout it out - even this beautiful rose (taken from a bouquet I bought Mum - it really was for her.... honest) shows the incredible details that God put into every part of His creation.
I took this shot against a black reflector and used the flash, and it meant I had very little editing to do with the actual photograph, just crop a little and add the text :-)

Happy Monday folks :-)
This is my friend (Zanmi in Creole) Jonas. Playing guitar like a boss during Sunday morning worship. We had church every night while in Haiti, but something about this morning was special. It was a wonderful Caribbean worship vibe.
It's a moment by moment, day by day action; It's not usually easy. We just have to choose to Choose Faith... it's not a blind choice - it's obedience to His Word #loveGod #lovethatGodlovesme #loveGod'sWord #thankHim #praiseHim
Oh Praise Him
by David Crowder Band
Turn your ear
To Heaven and hear
The noise inside
The sound of angels awe
The sound of angels songs
And all this for a King
We could join and sing
'All to Christ our King!'
How constant
How divine
This love of ours will rise
Oh, how constant
How divine
This song of ours will rise
Will rise...
Ohh praise Him!
Ohh praise Him!
He is Holy!
He is Holy!
Turn your gaze
To Heaven and raise
A joyous noise
Oh the sound of salvation come
The sound of rescued ones
And all this for a king
Angels join to sing
'All for Christ our King!'
How infinite and sweet
This love so rescuing
Oh how infinitely sweet
This great love that has redeemed
As one, we sing...

This is the Diocese of British Columbia’s third Cathedral Church. The first, built in 1856, was destroyed by fire; the second, built in 1872, became inadequate for the size of the congregation. Both were situated across the street from the present structure on the site now occupied by the Law Courts.
It is built in the Gothic style of the thirteenth century to the design of J.C.M. Keith, who won an international competition in 1896 to obtain this commission. Only the Nave was initially completed, and this portion of the building was consecrated on September 29, 1929. Further building was delayed by the Depression of the thirties, and then by the Second World War. The western towers were completed in the 1950s and the reconstruction of the East End, completed and consecrated November 1st 1991, renders the Cathedral one of Canada’s largest churches, with interior dimensions of 93 X 140 feet, and towers rising 122 feet above street level.
All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name.” - Psalm 66:4
This is the first decent photo of the moon that I've ever been able to take. I've been trying for years and I believe that the extra zoom I now have in my 18-300mm Nikkor lens makes a world of difference.
As a part of trying to photograph the moon, I've always thought about the verse and wanted to use it with the picture (if I ever got one)! Regardless if we, people who were made to praise God, do or not...the sun and the moon and the stars will 'Praise Him'!
Psalm 148:3 says: "Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you shining stars!"
