Reflection

Every Sunday I provide for my congregants a time of reflection. This is a term that I use instead of the standard preacher lingo “sermon”. I actually borrowed the term from one of my Lay Leaders who said that she didn’t feel comfortable giving a sermon, as she wasn’t a trained pastor. Therefore, she thought that the word “reflection” was more in keeping with what she was doing with regard to the scripture readings for that week. I thought about it for a moment or two and had to agree with her that I was reflecting on what God had spoken to me through the scriptures each week as well.

On April 26, 2026, the Virginia Scenic Railway ran their first eastbound passenger excursion train from Louisa on the last passenger train route of Amtrak’s James Whitcomb Riley, which was discontinued in 1977. The Doswell Special departed Louisa at 10 a.m. for a roundtrip to Doswell then to Gordonsville and back to a 4:00 p.m. arrival at Louisa. This special excursion train included many members of the Washington DC Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society along with the general public.
