I'm thrilled to learn that they were freethinkers! Also, Lutherans and Methodists, and Catholics. I didn't sense any of that "darkness" y'all are talking about.

The freethinkers not only wanted people to be free from religion in general but especially Christianity. And any area containing people who are anti-Christian is going to struggle with the truth because of those living there that are opposed to the truth.Al Benson Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07117500732087824225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-35590570498329849212016-08-17T23:08:35.874-04:002016-08-17T23:08:35.874-04:00I love the hill country and we've traveled the...I love the hill country and we've traveled there many times. Fredericksburg and Kerrville are two of my favorite places. Love Comes to Bluebonnet Inn is set in the area as is my historical series, Bluebonnet Valley. Texas is as diverse as America herself. The hill country holds many surprises for drivers unfamiliar with the highways there. Thanks for the gorgeous pictures.Martha W.

You always hear about the flat dry lands. It sounds lovely but what I really found fascinating was the Freethinkers and their philosophy. More fascinating was your observation of the dark spiritual forces in that area and how it affected you. The enemy has many strongholds on earth and in this country. That beautiful looking hill country is one example of the deceit of appearance. The Freethinkers seemed to have rejected the Gospel, the Scriptures and Christ Jesus' Sonship and authority. So that place was wide open for the adversary to dominate with his demonic forces. Glad you learned what you were dealing with at that time even if it was later.

When most people think of Texas they think of dusty, flat prairie land and cactus. But that's only in far West Texas.
