Long Roads and Two-way Streets: Part 4

Part of how we navigate these streets we share is to pray for God's blessing for those who travel and find their places along the way.  In Madison in particular those place often have intense historical significance.  Our own property is exactly one of those both historic and intensely so places.

On Tuesday I visited the Foster-Thomason-Miller house, now in the care of Madison-Morgan Conservancy.

The work being done both professionally and mostly by volunteers is another example of what I am calling intense and historic.  Washing away the soot to expose ornate wall coverings, finding an 8-point compass star aligned with Madison's northeast to southwest orientation, and clearing the heavy brush each trigger an intense response of wonder, curiosity, and surprise.

Hardly a minute passed during my brief visit that was not peppered with Look! Look here! Look at this!

The blessing prayers were for the property but more for those doing the work to restore and the hope they have for tomorrow.  Thanks to Christine McCauley and to all who through this effort have made the long intense road of history turn toward a future of hope.
