Historic Bethabara Church, Winston-Salem, NC

Historical Bethabara Moravian Church - Winston-Salem, NC A Quick Summary: Founded in 1753, Bethabara was the first Moravian settlement in North Carolina. In 1752, a 100,000 acre tract of land was purchased from Lord Granville and given the unofficial name of "Wachovia". The purchase of this tract of land led to the establishments of Bethabara, Bethania, and Salem. Bethabara was intended to be a temporary site for the Moravians until a more suitable location could be established, which upon its founding was given the name Salem, now known as Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC.

Backyard Visitor

A young buck who came to visit in my backyard. Stare down! Every now and then, the deer will pay me a visit. They appreciate a bushel of apples being set out for them every once in awhile.

The Path

Psalm 119:105 - Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.

Illumination

Moon light filtering through clouds from behind brightens the night sky and delights the eye with its ethereal appearance. Its a vision of both starkness and delicacy.

A gift from God

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead..." 1 Peter 1:3-4

My Orchid

Orchids come in so many varieties and colors. Their detail and symmetry is remarkable.
