Sunday in a small town

Sunday in a small town

Cities hustle and bustle, small towns hum. Six days out of seven in the little town where I live, you can hear the low rattle of log trucks playing hopscotch over potholes in county roads that haven’t been solid since Bill Clinton was governor. The chug-a-chug of the Georgia Pacific train marks 6 o’clock on both ends of the day. And the sawmill whistles at us morning and noon like a camp cook calling folks to breakfast and lunch. But on Sundays, the hum becomes hymns, and the only noise you hear in the middle of town is the sound of bells clanging from somewhere atop the Methodist Church. At 11 o’clock on Sunday mornings, you could throw a brick down Main Street and not have to worry about hearing the sound of breaking glass. You’re unlikely to hit anything but a stray dog or a backslider. And both know better than to be wandering around such a place at such a time. You can move away for a quarter of a century, and when you walk through the doors, you will likely see the same old hymn books peeking from behind the same beaten pew racks as when you left. Not everybody goes to church here, but everybody has a church. There are as many pews, padded and otherwise, as people in this town. A place for everyone. Even our atheists have been baptized a time or two. Like most southern towns, we serve our religion like a buffet bar. There are Baptists and Methodists and Churches of Christ for the blue-collar folks, Catholics and Lutherans for the immigrants, Presbyterians and Episcopalians for those with either a lot of money or a lot of debt, and half a hundred different kinds of Pentecostals for those who believe that inspiration is 75% perspiration. On Sundays, the Lord rides the circuit, making himself at home with all of them. No surprise, either, because they have all built him a house to call his own. Some are as big as factories; some are the size of double-wide trailers. A few are red brick edifices with electric signs and old men on golf carts offering a shuttle service from the parking lot. But most are humble white buildings held together by tenpenny nails and prayer. Although age has many of them looking as ragged as an old beggar and the paint peeling off like dead skin, there’s a cross on it somewhere ending all discussion, putting to rest any doubts — this is indeed the house of the Lord. World without end, Amen. Very few of our churches here are architectural masterpieces, but the faithful will remind you that for a long time, God was happy to camp out in a tent. And when the Lord got tired of “dwelling under curtains,” he said to the prophet, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts, consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring the wood, and build me a house; and I will take pleasure in it ...” The churches in my neck of the woods are solid, at least, with roofs and walls and windows that don’t leak all that much. So what if it has shifted through the years and leans a bit off kilter? Glory is a heavy thing, and a people can’t encounter the divine without being moved. I suspect that the majority of our churches can all boast of stained glass, even if they only have a window as big as a dinner plate. Some have carpet, others rough-hewn wood floors. The majority have wooden altars they call “mourner’s benches” the tops of which are now worn smooth as a sow’s belly from generations of sinners kneeling over them in search of a second chance. You can move away for a quarter of a century, and when you walk through the doors, you will likely see the same old hymn books peeking from behind the same beaten pew racks as when you left. And the same old organ being played by the same old lady in the same old cat glasses. At first glance, you think that many of the other familiar faces are gone, but, no, they are still there. They have just moved around back where they pray quietly with their faces toward the sun and flowers above their heads. I grew up in these churches, crawling up the rows of choir lofts and toddling down their threadbare aisles. I spent many Sundays dodging funeral fans and hellfire and damnation. I was nursed in their cry rooms, taught in their Sunday School classes, fed in their fellowship halls, whipped in their bathrooms, and wept over their altars. I have carved my initials on the backs of their pews and written my name a dozen times on their membership rolls, but these churches have left a bigger mark on me than I ever did on them. It is not my contention that small churches in small towns are better or holier than an urban cathedral. I have worshiped in large churches in large cities and was not disappointed with either the service or the setting. But for some reason, when there’s no expansive gallery where I can hide, no vacuous corner where I can get myself lost, no meandering crowd into which I can disappear — nothing between the Almighty and me but some knotty pine and white paint — I can’t help but feel just a little closer to heaven. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” — Psalms 23:6 Editor’s note: This article appeared originally on Substack. “No Jesuit Tricks” is a pseudonymous Anglican southerner who writes "Poiema," a Substack newsletter ruminating on goodness, truth, and beauty while poking the zeitgeist with a sharp stick.

New Study Finds Dinosaur Fossils Did Not Inspire the Mythological Griffin

New Study Finds Dinosaur Fossils Did Not Inspire the Mythological Griffin For centuries, scientists thought they knew where the griffin legend came from. A new study takes a closer look at the data and folklore’s influence on science. A popular and widely-promoted claim that dinosaur fossils inspired the legend of the griffin, the mythological creature with a raptorial bird head and wings on a lion body, has been challenged in a new study. The Griffin Origin Story The specific link between dinosaur fossils and griffin mythology was proposed over 30 years ago in a series of papers and books written by folklorist Adrienne Mayor. These started with the 1989 Cryptozoology paper entitled ‘Paleocryptozoology: a call for collaboration between classicists and cryptozoologists’, and was cemented in the seminal 2000 book ‘The First Fossil Hunters.’ The idea became a staple of books, documentaries and museum exhibits. It suggests that an early horned dinosaur of Mongolia and China, Protoceratops, was discovered by ancient nomads prospecting for gold in Central Asia. Tales of Protoceratops bones then travelled southwest on trade routes to inspire, or at least influence, stories and art of the griffin.

Orange Poke Cake

Orange Poke Cake

This Orange Poke Cake is flavored with mandarin oranges, soaked with an orange flavored sweetened condensed milk and topped with an orange pudding whipped topping! A CITRUS POKE CAKE WITH A CREAMY TOPPING If you’ve been around here for a bit, you know I have made just about every flavor of Poke Cake you can imagine…. But this Orange Poke Cake is a new one that really pops with bright orange flavor. Absolutely perfect for the summertime! Think pool parties, barbecues, holiday gatherings, graduation parties, and more! If you’re feeling the orange cake vibes, check out my Orange Creamsicle Poke Cake! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  What other cake mix could I use? For even more orange flavor, since this has subtle, light hints of orange, you could swap the white cake mix for an orange cake mix. What other pudding flavors can I use? If you don’t want to use the French vanilla or can’t find it, you can use plain vanilla, white chocolate, or even cheesecake pudding mix instead. Why is my topping so loose? It’s normal for the whipping topping mixture to be loose at first. You’ll find that it stiffens up some over time once it has had time to chill. It really does better the longer it chills in the refrigerator. Can I make this ahead of time? This is a cake you MUST make ahead of time. The topping needs time to chill and firm up, the cake and filling need time to set and be baked. It is one of those cakes that does better if you make it in the morning to serve in the evening or make it at night to serve in the morning/early afternoon. What’s best to poke the cake with? I find that using a bigger utensil to poke with is better than using something like a fork that has multiple smaller tines. It pokes too many holes closer together then what I prefer. I like to use the back end of a wooden spoon handle. Over the years I have even used a chopstick or skewer, but I find I like the width of the holes of the wooden spoon the most. You can try and see what you prefer. How do I store leftovers? With the ingredients being perishable, this cake needs to be refrigerated when it’s not being served. So, keeping that in mind, any leftovers should be covered and refrigerated as well. Leftovers should keep for up to 3 days in the fridge or for up to 3 months in the freezer. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) white cake mix– you can swap cake flavors by using any of the other suggested flavors in the Frequently Asked Questions above. ingredients to make the cake– egg whites, oil and water. Some boxed brands can differ on how much of each of these to use, so just use the amounts on the back of your box. orange Jell-O sweetened condensed milk– I can’t stress this enough, pay close attention to the can that you grab. I don’t know why the grocery store puts canned evaporated milk so close to the sweetened condensed milk. So sometimes people can accidentally pick up the wrong can so just be sure to grab the right can or this will not turn out good. mandarin orange juice – just use the juice from the 15 ounce can for the topping. If you don’t want to use this, you could use fresh squeezed orange juice. French vanilla instant pudding mix – make sure you grab the Instant and not the cook and serve. whole milk whipped topping– most people use Cool Whip, but any brand will work. mandarin oranges HOW TO MAKE AN ORANGE POKE CAKE Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind with flour in it)/ Prepare the cake per the directions on the back of the box making sure to also add in the dry orange Jell-O mix with the other ingredients.  Bake the cake according to the directions on the back of the box. While the cake is baking, make the soak. In a medium bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk and reserved mandarin orange juices and whisk together until combined well. Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes, then poke all over with a chop stick, a skewer or other similar size object.  Pour the condensed milk mixture onto the cake, focusing on the holes, and make sure to use it all. Allow the cake to finish cooling completely at room temperature, the cake will absorb the soak. Once the cake is cool, whisk together the instant pudding with the milk in a large bowl. Don’t allow it to set up before moving onto the next step. Quickly, stir in the whipped topping until there are no white streaks left. Add the drained mandarin oranges and stir them in. I like to break them up a little bit but that is up to you on white size pieces you’d like to see in the topping. Spread the topping all over the cake, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours to set, or up to overnight. Poke cakes always get better when they’ve had a longer time to set up. Slice and serve. Optional: Add slices of mandarin oranges or sliced oranges on each individual slice of cake.
