My Thoughts

Texas Baptist Children's Home I noticed this beautiful church not long after I moved to Austin. I was working at Sears in Round Rock and had some time to do some sight seeing. The entrance of this classic church angles the intersection, almost beckoning one to come visit. I remarked once how gracious the church seemed and that I could so so so see myself in a wedding gown on the front porch. One of my former co-workers at Sears said she had attended a wedding there once and that it was beautiful. Located on the corner of 79 and North Mays in very close proximity to historic downtown, visiting the church is an experience.

The Holy Cross Coptic Orthodox Church Located on the corner of McNeil Drive and I35 in Round Rock, I pass this church often in my comings and goings. Its simplicist design and location on a minor side street make detection from the rapid travelers on the interstate almost impossible. The first time I really noticed it was two years ago when we parked across I35 to watch the bats exit the overpass. Its actual address is: 700 S IH 35 Round Rock, Texas. Another striking feature are the numerous palm trees lining the frontage road. Doing some research, I discovered that the Coptic Orthodox Church has changed less than any other church.
