Sheldon Church

The oldest church in America.  Or the ruins rather.  It was built and burned twice and when we were there they were taking pictures for a wedding.  A magnificent monument to what America is founded on.  And an intense metaphor for life.  I walked around looking at the gravestones and was humbled by how many young children were buried there.  As I visited this monument with 4 of my 8 healthy children I found a new respect for those who started our great country.  They built and rebuilt based on there faith.  Knowing only that they were doing it for the future. And I can't help but ask myself what kind of a future am I building for those who will come after me in future generations?
