silence on the hill... - a photo on Flickriver

            The shuttered  Presbyterian church in Center Junction,IA. was one of 4 closed churches that we came across in Jackson County on a road trip 2 weeks back.Two of the churches were Catholic,and the other 2 were Presbyterian(I guess the Lutherans are holding in there so far?).My guess is that this fine brick church was closed sometime in the last 10 years-though looking a bit ragged and going unmowed-there were no major signs of vandalism.It did have kind of a sinister look to it however.It sits on a hill at the edge of town,giving it kind of a "psycho" vibe under the dark sky that day.I'm guessing the Lord is very unhappy with its situation...

Have a much "brighter" sliders sunday all!
