Contrary to what you hear, few people posts signs like this. However, I enjoy seeing one. |

lol they are amusing signs to see. But they'll get no repenting out of me
ReplyDeleteI'm always glad I don't know them. I remember my dad laughing at biblical admonitions written on rock that had been blasted out to make a road in the mountains.
Deletei am curious when yous say you don't see signs like this often? i wonder why? i see them all the time. maybe not "repent" but religious belief signs. have a great weekend!! ( :
ReplyDeleteI liked this sign in the vein of Howard Finster and Paradise Garden. In this area, people are religious but this is considered going overboard. However, many churches have marquees with sometimes witty quotes as well as serious ones. Sometimes large churches will have professional billboards.
DeleteI can tell that we are in the south. Saw many a church like this when I lived in Georgia. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteI've always liked the small rural churches. A lot of dedication and pride went into them. So many are disappearing.
DeleteGreat church but definitely different from ours in Europe
ReplyDeleteI have not traveled that much in Europe, but I do think of the huge cathedral when I think of Europe. This is a nice little blog hop. We will get to peep into one another's world.
DeleteThat sign sure gets your attention. Some time I would like to visit the southern states but I have not had an opportunity to do so. Quaint little church.
ReplyDeleteYou have to travel the backroads to see any region well. I have unrequited wonderlust too.
DeleteThat church has been there awhile, no doubt. Very simple, very plain but filled with God's love, I bet.
ReplyDeleteHate to say it but it looks like a village hall, the churchyard says different.
ReplyDeleteThe graveyards nestled up to the sides of those old churches do send a message, don't they?

Hi Ann,
ReplyDeleteThat rural church does have a certain ambience. It proves that a church doesn't have to have a spire to be a church. REPENT? No chance! :)
