I found this Catholic church while on a walk during one of our overnights. Anytime I see stained glass windows from the outside I want to venture inside. It was mid-afternoon and no one was there, just silence. I like silence so I found a pew in the back row, made the sign of the cross and sat down for some quiet time. After a few minutes I heard someone walking around behind me. With my eyes still closed, I felt a light tap on my shoulder and a voice saying, “Excuse me, brother. My name is Lloyd.” I turned around and looked into the eyes of a homeless man. He apologized for interrupting my quiet meditation, then proceeded to tell me he was unemployed and needing money. As he left I watched as he stepped into an elevator off to the side. He seemed to know that church. Anyway, I found my much needed quiet time and met Lloyd. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

Nice shot and a cool story, Monte. I hope that Lloyd could find some help and was able to make his way, at least for the day.

When I wrote this post I remembered your story about the guy you met in Charleston. 🙂

What a lovely church in which to find quiet time.

I think images of sacred places of worship would be a fun project to do. Been bouncing around in my head for a long time.
