Think You Know Church?

Waterbury, Connecticut

There are a couple billboards down by the railroad tracks under a gloomy gray winter sky.

Carl, I sure do like the way those trees and smokestack go across the skyline.

Guilt-Free should be a convincing argument for everybody. Sarah P., you are listening? No blood libels!

Markus, I saw the text used for the blog title first, but when I saw the "guilt free" line I couldn't help mentally responding, "you call that a church? What do you mean, no guilt?"

Edd, what first caught my eye was the rigid shape of the chimney contrasting to the delicate, swaying shape of the smoke/steam just a little darker than the surrounding overcast sky.

Carl, that "guilt thing" probably is the fine difference between church and religion. God doesn't need it, but many churches do (even today), unfortunately.

Markus, the sign also immediately made me think of Garrison Keillor's fictional town of Lake Woebegone, where the Catholic church is Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility...
