Spotted close to a huge Indian Casino in southern Oklahoma
The chapel is not a gimmick nor is it the latest and greatest in “Name it, Claim it” Prosperity Gospel, it houses a hard working chaplain for a local horse race track. It is part of The Race Track Chaplaincy of America a network of 62 chaplains all across America. As described in The Surebet Racing News:
“In addition to holding weekly services and prayer meetings, many racetrack Chaplains also perform marriages, officiate at funerals, and serve as marriage counselors, drug counselors. They are good listeners. Much as with your traditional Minister, they do whatever is needed. That is their calling.”
What a great sign. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Oh, a great sign indeed! You do find some good ones!! Hope your week is going well!

Love the photo! Stumbled across you blog from Birdman’s. You have some lovely pictures.
I can imagine that those involved in high stakes betting could need a lot of prayer. Nice post. I might need some mentoring from you. I have never attended a horse race and would like to — just once to say I did.
May I come too Bill and Yogi? That’s on my Bucket List.
wonderful sign, thanks for the history .. I love stuff like that
I like that, “Where the odds are in your favor.” Can’t get better than that!
Very unique. That’s one I’ve not heard of before.
My sign is here
I love this one! There are a lot of prayers said at a race track.
that is a line of chaplaincy I had never considered 😉
Interesting.
It’s a new one on me. There’s so many religions and only one God.
a race track chaplaincy—i never thought there is such a thing. i wonder why if the nearby casino has its own chaplain.:p
Great sign. Be saved and get good odds at the same time.
Clever line about the odds being in your favour…er, favor.
