Trinity
These spires are the reason we were there, since they’re visible from the highway well before you get to town. And we’re not the kind of people to not check out spires!

This. This made the entire stop worthwhile.
(Upon reflection, it may have made the whole trip worthwhile.)

Chandelier + Angel
Look up, when you get inside, and you’ll be rewarded by a lovely painted ceiling, with puffy clouds and an angel. And a chandelier.

“Are we close to Lott?” said the Patient Spouse as we were taking a circuitous route home from a trip. We were, which is how we wound up in Westphalia: it happened to be on the way.
Twin church spires had our attention before we even got to town, and of course we stopped to explore. The church – the largest wooden one in Texas – was a great find and we spent a long time looking around.
Oh, and Lott? It was regionally famous when we were in college as a place to go to get cheap jeans. We did go there, but the jeans store was out of business so there was no need to stop.

The Placid Space
When we were leaving this church, a man from down the road drove up on his riding lawnmower to see if we were the people who were supposed to come give an estimate on repainting the place. (It needed it.)
Then we had a chat, because it’s Texas and we’re friendly and all that stuff. He said he and his wife had traveled to Russia and China and Europe. It made our day’s journey from College Station to Lubbock seem mundane. But I bet in all his travels he never saw a church quite as lovely as the one right there, flooded with sunlight, with muffled road noises and racks of worn hymnals and a bug on the Bible.
