    Thank you Cheryl Mae for all the encouragement.

    Condolences to you and your family. What a lovely thought to use the church block.

    I extended my sky since the cross on my real Church is on the steeple - this cross was my mom's. Bottom snow may 'melt' when all blocks are ready to assemble - will see how it all fits together.

    It so much fun checking out the 'creativity' of BOM builders. Have you read Pillars of the Earth? You all now can empathize with the characters - they too struggled while erecting Churches!
    Beautiful!
