Very nice! You are gathering an excellent collection of churches from around the world.
There is a program offered by one of those self-publishing book sites that 'slurps' the blog and creates a book from it, which you can edit before publishing. You probably know about it already, but just thought I'd mention it, because this blog would make a great coffee table book at a given point in time.
George is right MB - this would make a fantastic book.
Oh Mary Beth, I had no idea you had this blog... I may have to start another blog just for specific things such as waterfalls, churches, etc.. Great idea. Now---all I need is more TIME to do it!!! ha ha...
