This is one of the many churches in Charleston, SC. Charleston is actually nicknamed "The Holy City" because the colony was begun for an investment, not for religious freedom, and so those in charge didn't mind what churches came into the city.

This church is built out of Brownstone from New England. The parishioners didn't realize just how much Brownstone cost so this church has no steeple because they ran out of funds! (Local people call it "the church with no steeple".... very fitting, huh?) The church members are now in the process of building a steeple. These are a couple of views I was able to capture while on the horse-drawn carriage tour. Quick pics are what you do in those cases. lol
If you look closely at the bricks you can see stars imprinted on them. These stars represent the labor that went into building the church. If I remember correctly, they stood for the people who helped build it.

In checking out some quotes today I found these:

Faith... is the art of holding on to things your reason once accepted, despite your changing moods.
- C. S. Lewis

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.

- George E. Mueller

The Lord has been teaching me more about faith in Him. The simple childlike faith fades away so rapidly when we become adults. We look so much on the cares of the world and those around us that we forget to look to the One Who holds us in the palm of His hands.
