I hope the picture is clear enough to get the details—There is a horse at the pumps! This is the town that I travel an hour to get to every Sunday and Thursday, to lead worship at a Bayside church.

I have been trying to figure out the best way to explain Placerville, California to everyone for a while now and I was lucky enough to come across this wonder before coming home from practice yesterday.

Placerville is a unique town. It is not that there are always horses posted up in the paths of all Placerville commerce, it is just that its social mindset exists somewhere in the space between Chuck Norris and 2008; and so, rather than common, it’s simply not by any means unlikely.

I love Bayside Placerville. I am fortunate to have one of the most loving and worshipful congregations that I have ever had the privilege of leading. The three months that I have spent there have been fun, interesting at times (like horses at gas stations), but fun.
