284:365 Quirky


284:365 Quirky
Another shot of the camp-meeting grounds in Pine Log. There is a very quirky story about the Methodist church here. On August 31, 1886, the Reverend J.N Sullivan was laboring over a sermon on a steaming hot Georgia afternoon. The crowd was not responding. He stopped and prayed, “Lord if it takes it to move the hearts of these people, shake the ground on which this old building stands.” At the moment he concluded his prayer, a very, rare Georgia earthquake occurred shaking the floor and walls of the building. People rushed down the aisle and there was a revival in Georgia that day.
Theme #248.

It's amazing that the buildings still stand.
Looks like a nice place to visit.

Wonderful shot and story. How surprising that it dates back to the 1830's

Great story. I should try that in class one day, when the collective attention of the students wanders (one entire wall of our room is windows. BAD idea...!)
