My plan this morning was to arrive early,
before the service started.
I wanted to once again capture the sunrise on a steeple.
God had other plans.....
The rain started before daylight.
It is still raining as I photograph.
The steeple is a formidable sight to see,
situated in the middle of open ranch and farmland.
The history of the church, dedicated in 1879, and the bell can be read HERE .
Quoting from this link, "It has rung joyously at weddings; it has rung somberly, announcing the declaration of wars, deaths, fires and other significant events in the community and the world."
It also was rung on September 11, 2001.
A Texas Historic Landmark plaque was placed on the church property in 1994.
It's almost 8:30am and a light rain is still coming down.
Members are beginning to arrive for the Sunday morning service.
The door is open....
If you hurry, you can still make the service.
