My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young — a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs;
Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere;
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere;
no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
And may we truly desire to be in your courts
A few years ago my husband and I were driving one of the back roads to a nearby town. Imagine our delight when we happened upon this beautiful, old Catholic church founded in the late 1800's. I was very disppointed that I didn't have my camera with me that day but I made up for it last Sunday. This beautiful country church out in the middle of nowhere is truly a sight to behold. I hope you have a worshipful experience while enjoying these pictures.
