1:24 AM - Fred B. Clark Family Life and Community Center

Mound Bayou, Mississippi isn't much different than many small towns around the country, struggling. THat's not to say there aren't people around to help build stuff that can benefit the town. Take this facility built by a local church. It's very nice too.

12:55 AM - A Baptismal Pit

If you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior then you walk into this pit and a minister will immerse you in some water and then you are Baptized. We were right behind Jerusalem Baptist Church in Mound Bayou, Mississippi.

1:31 PM - Country graveyard

Next door to Wanderer's Home. Not very uncommon in that town. Especially if you have nothing but land to be able to do so.

8:00 PM - I went to a Catholic Church for the first time...

On Wednesday night I went to St. Elizabeth Catholic Church located in the Bronzeville (also known as the Black Metropolis because it is a historic black neighborhood) neighborhood at about 41st & Michigan Avenue. And don't think I went to mass, it was actually for a memorial service of a family friend. And I thought it was nice.

The church was a lot more intimate than I'm used to. A nice pit with a table where the candles were lit and the podium in the background with a water fountain in the back. A big chair for the pastor. The benches were arranged in an unusual pattern that created a pit. It was arranged in the usual two rows of pews with a center aisle and outside aisle. I'm think I should find my way to a Catholic Church service one day.

I want to share this song that we sung during the memorial service there. It was nice.

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

What a fellowship! What a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms!
What a blessedness! What a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms!

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning leaning on the everlasting arms.
Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, leaning on the everlasting arms!
Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms! [REFRAIN]

What have I to dread? What have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on th everlasting arms! [REFRAIN]
