Healing Springs Country Store


Ralph & Ruth Ellen Dickerson

Owners of the
Healing Springs Country Store, just outside of Blackville, SC.  It is one of our most favorite places to go, when we go to the natural healing springs called "God's Acre" to get the free to the public  water. The water at Healing Springs is reported to be revered by the Indians during the Revolutionary War. 
We always stop by the quaint little country store, where they have homemade breads, and other goodies for sale.  You will think you have stepped back in time in this old fashioned store.  There is sliced cheese, sliced straight off of the big hoop.  There are children's bible story books, and jars of old fashioned and canned goodies, and everything from homemade dandelion jelly to pickled pigs feet.  A unique old fashioned novelty store.  All sorts of homemade items and foods that will bless you.  Go by and see them today.  In season, there are also fresh vegetables for sale.
They are located on Hwy 3, heading
north out of Blackville, SC.  Click on the link above for more info!

Welcome to  

 The Light of  the Lowcountry Magazine
"An Online Interactive Christian  Magazine "

 

 

 MISSION STATEMENT

Everyday it is becoming  more and more evident that the evils of the world are being promoted by the mass media~ in music, radio, tv, satellite, and in magazines, books, and many other publications.  Family values are swiftly eroding.  Suppertime, mama's homemade biscuits, & saying Grace, have all but disappered  from the homes of most Americans.  We are committed to help bring back these family values!  

ABOUT US

We are a  hardcopy as well as web interactive magazine, with a Christian Focus.    We  have different contributing writers from all over the US, and a few from other countries . We want our readers to contribute to this magazine, shining forth from the SC Lowcountry to all of the US and the world!  Jesus IS the true light of the world, but he said for us to let OUR lights shine also, to bring glory to the Father through others seeing our good deeds. So, we are letting our light shine, how about you?  Also, don't forget to support our sponsors by clicking on their business links. 


We are also on the cutting edge of technology, folks.   You get free membership into our online FORUM, so be  sure to go to our  Forum page to get registered for free.  The links are also  on our INTERACTIVE PAGE, as well as on the lefthand menu here!  We will be adding many new forums  as the need arises, and we have many LOCAL Bulletin Boards for everyone  to enjoy.  However, there are other forums which are for everyone from all over the USA.


Our magazine is dedicated to  helping  to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through the printed word and help  combat the evil that we are being assaulted with as one nation under GOD through the use of the media.  We will do all we can to help preserve Christian family values, and fight for our swiftly disappearing Constitutional rights as Americans, as one nation under GOD.

  Our base of operations is in the SC Lowcountry, Bamberg, SC,  but our magazine is a shining light, not just to the S.C. Lowcountry, but to all of SC and  far beyond, with local, national & international contributing writers .  Through us the LIGHT of Jesus Christ will be shed abroad in the hearts of all of our readers across the US and in other countries.  Let us never forget that Jesus is the TRUE LIGHT of the world, so don't be afraid to let your light shine!

John 8:12: "I am the light of the world; he that followeth me...shall have the light of life."

Matthew 5:16: "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
