Cowboy Church

It’s no secret. You’d have to hog tie me to get me into a church. But, I’m thinking I found a church that might just do exactly that to save my soul. Cause this church is “Rounding up souls for jesus!” Yessiree.

While driving to Helen one day, Mark and I spoted this church. At first I thought it was a joke. But it is a real bonafide church. I’m telling you, this is a service I wish I could attend (only it is 1 1/2 hours away, too bad). I especially like the “howdy” on the front door and the nice cowboy decorations. One of these days, should I ever feel inclined to repent for my sins, I’m thinking I’ll join the Cowboy church. I imagine the preacher wears a cowboy hat and the choir plays the mouth harp and the washboard. Whoever knew church could sound so fun?

I couldn’t help it. I had to take a picture for you. We live here. Ha. Scarier still, is that we fit right in, in our own weird way. Ya gotta admit, when you live in a place where even the sight of church makes you grin, well, it must be good for the soul.

About Ginny East Shaddock

Ginny East has long employed blogging to poke and prod life. She believes reflective writing reveals deeper connections and teaches us about our relationships with ourselves and the world at large. Her blog is laden with long essays that go completely against the recommended tips for successful blogging, and the fact that her selected subject matter has no goal or specific theme means she is unlikely to build an audience or create a platform for her writing or other work-related endeavors. Ginny comes to the page for personal reasons, and whether she has an audience for these entries is a moot point. Ginny retired in January 2025 after many years as a business owner. Certified yoga therapist, and teacher of dance, yoga, and writing. She was excited to have time to devote to writing, personal reflection, and deepening relationships. She has a Master of Fine Arts in writing from Lesley University and a BA in business management from Eckerd College. As an author, Ginny has won the Royal Palm Literary Award two times, once for historical fiction and once for the memoir category. She also won the New Southerner Literary Award and her piece was selected for the magazine's yearly anthology. She has a memoir, My Million Dollar Donkey, a book that explores social issues, education, and personal awareness gained during a period when she attempted to live a simple life in the Georgia Mountains. The book was born of insight from her daily introspection gained by blogging on this site. She also is the author of The Enlightened Writer, available on Kindle and through Amazon or Bookbaby. This book combines Eastern philosophy with writing wisdom for authors seeking insight and guidance on writing a memoir as a spiritual act.
