| SANCTUARY |
Here’s our Country Life Caption feature for today, sent by Valerie Comer of Canada.
At first glance, this seems like a very sad or rude photo: a church with a ‘No Trespassing’ sign. But read on . . . .
Says Valerie: "We came across this abandoned church on a back road in southern British Columbia and were disappointed to see the emphatic 'No Trespassing' sign attached to the door. Later we discovered that the landowner over-wintered bee colonies in the church. What had once, presumably, been a sanctuary for worshipers is now a sanctuary for honeybees."

What are your thoughts about an old church with a 'No Trespassing' sign? Or being used for a bee colony?

G'day from Down Under!
Well, maybe those bees are a bit miffed. Here's a Bible quote from Psalm 119:103 "How sweet are Your Words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth."
Rita: Thanks for stopping by. Love the verse you shared...especially in this context.
