Stone Doesn't Burn, Does It?
From before the beginning of this blog until June 2008 I served First United Methodist Church in Warren, PA as the Associate Pastor. It's a great church and if you read the posts in those three years of the blog you'll get some insights as to what I did around there during my tenure.
This post isn't about that.
Just now I read about a fire at a big stone First United Methodist Church in Ada Ohio. I saw the picture on Facebook and at a glance had a sinking feeling that it might be First UMC Warren. I was glad that it wasn't, but then I was, and am, very sad for the people of Ada, Ohio.
But I thought about the many times people said, "Oh, if we have a fire, not that much here will burn. It's all stone."
But these two pictures tell a very, very different story, don't they?
My prayers for the people of Ada.
