What America gets right

America may not have the best sacred architecture, but I'll be damned if we don't have the best, most passionate sacred music in the new and old world.

I was driving and the Dixie Hummingbirds' "Christian Automobile" came on and, if you want to do yourself a favor, you'll listen to it.

It's amazing that out of the most plain and humble churches in the world — and Lord have mercy there are some terrible looking churches out there — some of the best music comes out.

Also snake handling.
