Admiring The Old Buildings...They Don't Make Them Like That Anymore


Yesterday, while doing a little web surfing, I came across a social media post on X that intrigued me. The thread asked the question about LDS meetinghouses. Many posted pictures of amazing and unusual Latter-Day Saint chapels throughout the country and in other parts of the world.

They were beautiful.

So much so, I'd love to see them all. I know, of course, that these were but a drop in the bucket of LDS chapels across the globe. I decided to add a couple of photos of the meetinghouse I attend--one indoor, one outdoor--for I believe it belongs in the discussion of amazing and unusual. 

Last week I attended a church in Brigham City where my son, daughter-in-law, and new baby call their own. It's not one of the newer, utilitarian models. It's actually a split-level.

Cool.

Many people enjoy visiting old churches. I think my appreciation comes from the fact that I attended for almost all my life a church that has great historical significance in our religion. It's the Old Rock Church in Farmington. If you know, you know. I loved that old building that had several additions over the decades.

When I see an old church, it's a testament to those who built it. It's a physical representation of their faith, and us attending is a physical representation of ours.

I'd love to visit them all.
