As we anticipate the opportunities for worship this Season of Lent, consider the words of Isaiah 12:2 “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, . . .” The granite outcrops so common here are evidence of our Creators power and strength.
There are an estimated 12,000 acres of granite outcrops in the Piedmont Region of the U.S. It is estimated that over 90% of that outcropping is in Georgia alone and that most of that occurs in just three counties: DeKalb, Rockdale and Walton. Stone Mountain, Arabia Mountain and Panola Mountain are nearby state parks and conservation areas.
