inSPIREd Sunday


This church in Lexington, Va., was founded in 1840, 

mainly as a place of worship for the cadets at
nearby VMI.  It was originally called Grace Church, 
but after the Civil War it became the R.E. Lee Memorial Church.
This past November, a vote was taken on whether to drop 
the Lee name.  They kept it (but I'm thinking that 
in this town, even if they hadn't it probably would still
have been called the "Lee chapel").

Shadow Shot Sunday

Visited VMI (Virginia Military Institute), in Lexington, Va.,
recently. The houses of the commandant and other
bigwigs are all designed (like this one) to resemble a fort.
 I found it a tad bizarre—but love those shadows!
