Here at Texas Country Reporter, we're all about taking the backroads that connect us... not the ones that drive us apart. We believe kindness is the long white line guiding these travels.

This particular trip led us to Central Texas, where we visited a spot designed to worship just that at the Tiny Chapel of Kindness.

Built by author Spike Gillespie on her Texas ranch outside of Austin, these stained glass windows and pews are surrounded by notes from folks of all faiths, politics, and belief systems. They share random acts of kindness, heartwarming stories, and inspiring testimonies of goodwill, reminding us we're all a lot more alike than we are different.

Experience common ground again on TCR.
