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.

This weekend was the 90 mile-long Old Dixie Highway Yard Sale that stretches from Ringgold to Marietta, Georgia. My husband and I took in a few of the sales. We spent a grand total of $5.25 and had a great time.
The Dixie Highway better known as U.S. Route 41 was built in the 1920’s to connect the northern states to Florida. It stretches from Canada to Miami, Florida. It was at one time a major tourist route and has been called the granddaddy of Interstate 75. Theme #336.

Howard Finster’s art is powerful and more than a little strange and unsettling. It’s sort of like a cross between an old-time tent revival and a circus fun house. Fascinating. Theme #278.

In Summerville, Georgia, there is a place called Paradise Gardens. It was the home of Howard Finster, a famous folk artist. He started in 1960 to build an elaborate sculpture garden in and around his home. His sculptures are made of cast-off junk and trash. Mr. Finster was an evangelist preacher. He loved Jesus and he apparently had a fascination with Elvis and Coca-Cola . . . a true Southern gentleman. This picture is a close-up of a self portrait that is on the outside of the chapel in the gardens. Theme #104.
