I'd like to start doing posts again even if they're just brief ones. But what I want to let you know is this: Some time this year, I am going to sell my house and make the big move on down to <br />Belleview. I'm already in the process of buying a place that used to belong to my brother, so I know what I'm getting. So once I get down there and start taking pictures, It might just be NW Ohio and middle Florida! Hope 2014 is treating you well so far.ShariYShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248944687701144161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568944700375098300.post-89168335291413142882012-01-26T16:14:21.622-05:002012-01-26T16:14:21.622-05:00Hi again!

Thanx for not mentioning my previous excursions into religion in your comment on The Villages. <br /><br />The Church on the Square is a gorgeous building. I'm not sure who designed it or built it and know nothing of the windows, but it is obviously modeled after the more historic churches. It's very non-denominational...I have no idea as to what they preach or teach but I think it's great that the church is used by the community for a variety of events.<br /><br />I'll keep in touch. You have a great blog and I enjoy your excellent photography even if I'm no longer involved in the church.Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568944700375098300.post-55702914812742293072012-01-26T15:03:52.042-05:002012-01-26T15:03:52.042-05:00Lowell -- thank you for your kind comments My brot...Lowell -- thank you for your kind comments My brother lives in Bellview FL, and recently my mother went to stay with him for a week. She came home talking about this church in the Villages with Spanish architecture. Turned out to be Church on the Square that she was talking about, but it wasn't the first one I thought of!<br /><br />I wish I had more time to work on my church blog. Had plenty of time when I was laid off during 2009. Well, I'm working again and while that's certainly a good thing, it leaves me with no time for the blog. Maybe I'll just do short reviews -- although when I have 60 or so photos each of churches as nice as the ones here, that's sometimes a challenge!ShariYShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248944687701144161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568944700375098300.post-70172181906695092772012-01-25T18:17:07.959-05:002012-01-25T18:17:07.959-05:00Hi Shariys!

Thank you for stopping on our blog, The Villages (Florida) Photos. <br /><br />I enjoyed these pictures very much as they reminded me of those beautiful Lutheran churches of the midwest...<br /><br />For many years I was an ELCA pastor; I even had one stint at the Division for Parish Service. In the late 70s, I was asked to become assistant to the bishop of the Ohio Synod. That didn't seem right to me at the time I declined. <br /><br />Went on to teach school and retired some years ago.<br /><br />You do good work and your photography is excellent!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568944700375098300.post-73858561118003739572011-05-19T01:31:46.123-04:002011-05-19T01:31:46.123-04:00@Chase: can't wait?

If you ever, for any reason, know you're going to be getting up to the Fremont area, call the church office and set up a time to get in. It's amazing! The interior will be a post of its own, and the wonderful windows will be another post. They gave me a book detailing the windows. Hope 2011 is going good for you so far!ShariYShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248944687701144161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568944700375098300.post-13196532348778638282011-04-25T15:19:09.852-04:002011-04-25T15:19:09.852-04:00Glad to see you back in the saddle.
