]]> Comment on The Bell at the First Baptist Church of Bonne Terre by Linda http://smalltowngirlsguide.com/2010/the-bell-at-the-first-baptist-church-of-bonne-terre/#comment-57684 Linda Thu, 03 May 2012 00:38:15 +0000 http://smalltowngirlsguide.com/?p=1671#comment-57684 I grew up in Bonne Terre and was a member of the First Baptist Church. My father is 94 years old and still a deacon in that church. He told me that the bell was originally located in the bell tower of the church, but as the building (built in the early 1920's) aged, it was noticed that ringing the bell was causing the bricks in the bell tower to jar loose. So the bell was removed and mounted in front of the church. The names on the bell are church members at the time the building was erected. More than likely, those members contributed toward the cost of purchasing the bell. I grew up in Bonne Terre and was a member of the First Baptist Church.

I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you’ve done a awesome job with this. In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Firefox. Outstanding Blog! Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this site.

I love it when I participate in a race that a "big name" is in, if only because I do think it's extremely cool that we all run the same race on the same track. I think that's what makes running such a unique and special sport! Above all, I'm glad that the run felt good. Those are the runs that keep us going.
