Abandoned Olden School

In the town of Olden, Texas, there's an abandoned school building that used to be the senior high school.  Some of the window panes are missing and the doors are locked so no one can enter, sadly.

Abandoned Olden School

This abandoned school building was the high school in Olden, Texas.  Many of the windows are missing, not because they've been broken, but because the glue holding the glass in has deteriorated and the panes have fallen out.  

There was no way to enter the building which was disappointing.

Another Abandoned building

 

As I was driving a new route home today, I came upon this seemingly abandoned church building.  

There's a sign off to the right of the building, but it's empty so I don't even know what denomination it originally was.  

My heart is grateful for:

my first day at my new PT job today

The Ark Encounter

A full-scale replica of Noah's Ark is located in Williamsburg, KY.  I've read about it but never thought I'd be able to visit in person.

I got there today.

It's truly amazing.  It took Noah 10 years to build the ark.  Only 8 people survived the flood, along with 7 of every clean animal and 2 of every unclean animal. (there are differing opinions about exactly how many animals were on the ark but the animals were smaller in those days, and it was a "kind" of each species, so not as many animals as we think there might have been) It's 2 football fields long.

There was one door on the ark and God closed the door from the outside.  

The structure was an engineering marvel.

I'm grateful that;

Some of God's people have been so obedient

Gravestone and Tree in Cemetery

This past winter and friend and I went to a cemetery to grab some images for the upcoming competition in our photo club.  I forgot I even had this image, but when I found it the other day I decided to post it.  Wonder why I didn't post it before?

My heart is grateful for:

cooler wether that will eventually arrive

The Tie That Binds

This beautiful,  sculptured statue of a pioneer family is found in the town square of Ozona, Texas.  It's a tribute to all the pioneer families who settled the area.

The statue is 9' tall, made from bronze and was created by Judy Black, 

a life-long resident of Crockett County.

Ozona is the only town located in Crockett County. The county was named after Davy Crockett, one of the brave men who died in the battle of the Alamo.

Today my heart is thankful for:

a friend who was selfless and helped me solve a marketing issue
