“Who goes to Saint Louis – for Vacation?”

Dec 12th “Who goes to Saint Louis – for Vacation?”

When we lived in Florida – every year – sometime around July 4^th – we would drive up – only stopping on the way to pick up “FIRE-Crackers” – so we could have a nice – Family- Celebration, around the 4^th! We, were the only “ones” – that – I know of – that just had to make this trip to Saint Louis – each year??? That is until – today!

Unless you have all of your “FAMILY” in and around the Saint Louis, area – what would be of a very special attraction – for a “Vacationing Family” – to just have to see???

Someone notice an out of town “FAMILY” – pull into the parking lot – and probably from the long drive – tired and in need of starching the legs – and as some young children – maybe teenage children – have to bounce around and get carried away with some loud and boisterous talking and really acting so silly – – – – some nearby drivers with their families – start giving their full attention to this out of town family – kind of mentally questioning – what kind of people – come here and seem to want to cause a disturbance???

This is the parking lot for – the” Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis – located on 4431 Lindell – in the area called – the Central West End – Saint Louis, Missouri” – so the out of town-errs proceed to entering the – “NEW Cathedral” – and there seem to be such a complete change – the young girl who seem to be in a wild world – on the outside parking lot – could hardly walk? She was over-come with such a feeling of reverence for where she was – it looked like she was tip-toeing as she slowly turns her head – up and all around trying to take in all of the magnificence of where she was!

The scene that they were taking in – is as nothing anywhere else in America and maybe not even anywhere in the world?? Inside the “NEW CATHEDRAL” – is the largest collections of “MOSAICS” – that – you would almost think that you are in “HEAVEN” – the eyes can hardly comprehend such amazing beauty and glory in honor of the Almighty Yahweh!

The young girl was overheard saying something so profound to her “MOTHER” – – that the person that was over-hearing and was focused on this family – was almost dumb-founded that – a very young child – who was so distracted outside – the “NEW CATHEDRAL” – – now seeing all the – wonder and beauty of the “LORD’s HOUSE” – – a complete reverence for everything around her – overwhelming her with new feelings – – that maybe she had not had before – she is in the presence of the LORD – and bending over with a very soft whisper – for only her “MOTHER” to hear – – “Is it alright – for us to even walk – – – in this very “HOLY PLACE?”
