We got a similar business model from the Trappist monks and sisters in my home country, they make great dairy products, including yoghurt/kefir and cheese.
I read Silence a few months ago. I fell in love with the book. I found myself journaling about faith after reading it. I need to read it again and again. Have you seen the movie? I haven't. I wonder if it does the book justice.
I'm not a formally religious man, but I am a spiritual person, so I love visiting special houses of worship and I love being in nature. Walden Pond is one of my favorite places. My wife and I brought our sons there as they were growing up and the boys and I would swim in Thoreaus favorite pond and hike the woods with a copy ofWalden in Dad's pocket.
My mom's church on the verge of closing. Not because of what you read in the news but because she is the only one left in the church. There is a lay preacher that comes around and he says he doesn't mind because his wife plays the piano and when they are finished, they go to a nearby town to eat lunch. He also does a sermon in a nearby town earlier so my mom's church isn't the only one he does.
Oh, that’s a long time. I’m curious where the church is. I pray that God would continue to bring people to Himself and make it possible to keep this church alive. But it reminds me of what we know, the Body of Christ lives on.
Love visiting places like this! Lovely post Alexander
Thanks, was so good
I love visiting places like this. I like to imagine the thoughts and prayers that people say in silence.
Yes, can feel it
Have you ever been on Fátima Sanctuary? (Portugal)
No, I wish!

Amazing!
Where is this located?
Virginia, right by Shenandoah river and blue ridge mountains, you get the valley view, mountains and can see the river on the way too
Oh lovely. It reminded me of St. Andrew's By the Sea Episcopal Church in Hyannis Port, Maine.
This article was delightful. Thanks. I love places like this too and agree some places are so peaceful and the spiritual investment is so evident.
The pictures were wonderful. I especially loved seeing your family with you, and the one of you and your son. That’s a very special picture.
Yes very special!

The movie is good, but no where near as good as the book, however actors do an amazing job
Your spiritual trip with your wife, son and mother sounds very special. I'm so happy for you, Alexander.
Thank you for the kind words, I highly recommend these types of places!

Wow, that is an interesting story
Wow, that’s sad but amazing.
I am 72 years old, and the church was there when I got there, and I was 6 months old

A small town in Arkansas. That is where my stories on substack come from. I was raised about 10 miles north on a farm.
I grew ip on a farm in Oregon. I will check out your writing, Paul.
