Verse Of The Day Mark 12:26-27 (HCSB) In the time since that VOD, the church changed the sign a couple of times. The most recent post was an announcement of Vacation Bible School but, this week they decided to go back to “God is.” All week long I’ve read that sign morning and afternoon and knew in my heart there was something He wanted to say about it. In fact, I pretty much understood His message from Monday morning on, but every day, as I sat down to do that day’s verse, He lead me in a different direction.Click for complete story...

Pottery Exhibit Extended Through June June 14, 2013 “After many requests, the collectors have graciously allowed a one-month extension of the pottery exhibit,” said Donny Wilson, director of the Burrow Museum. “We appreciate their willingness to give visitors to the museum a glimpse of what life was like for our ancestors through the items they used on a daily basis.” The pottery exhibit is one of the largest known exhibitions of 19th century Alabama folk pottery, and features works made in Shelby, Autauga, Elmore, Blount, Perry, Tuscaloosa, Randolph, DeKalb and Cleburne counties. “The pottery is all from the mid-19th through the late-19th century, from a collection of nine counties that were very important to the pottery trade of that day,” Wilson said. “The high-quality clays found in those areas attracted numerous pottery-making families who moved to Alabama from South Caroline and Georgia to continue their craft.” The exhibit has a variety of pieces that show how essential the art of pottery was to the daily lives of 19th century residents of the state. There are butter churns, crocks, canning jars, jugs, bowls, mugs and spittoons. Some vessels have no handles, some have simple lug handles and others have looped handles. There are some that have handles near the bottom that made it easier to upend the vessel to pour out its contents. Though the pots on display are all in various shades of brown and some green, they represent numerous glazing techniques and many have designs that can only be appreciated by close inspection. Admission to the museum is free and the facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Tour groups are welcome.
