March 10- Sunday in Jackson, Mississippi
its very civilized in Jackson, and the weather is beginning to
warm up. The night clerk at our bed and breakfast has made
arrangements for us to visit his church to hear gospel music. We
arrive late and without breakfast as we have been left to oversleep,
they forgot to wake us, but we arrived in time to see the choir. What
a sight to see and sound to hear! If you like gospel in the movies
(Blues Brothers etc.) you would love it at the Jackson Revival
Center. We were happily surprised to see that there were no black
people and no white people in that church. There were just people,
singing and enjoying life and each others goodwill. They said things
like "Other people have fun, WE have JOY". And they do.
What's more, they share it with anyone and everyone who wants it. Do
I sound giddy? Well hey, this was a beautiful thing and we were
fortunate to be invited. Pastor Biard and the congregation invite all
to come and enjoy the fellowship of people who just want to do good
things and celebrate life. Please go visit the Church, and tell them
the folks from "On the Road in America" sent you.
I promise you a sound file...stay tuned
