This is a True Account

Today tens of people came to my church.

But they did not know what happened last night.

Tomorrow hundreds of people will go to my church.

But they will not know the price paid for them to be able to.

They do not know of the fire that threatened to burn the church down.

They will not know of the 7 who desperately fought the fire on Friday night.

It will seem like a normal Sunday, like nothing has or will ever happen.

We will take things for granted. It all seems so routine.

How great are the battles fought in secret for the survival of the church.

How huge the sacrifices heroes have made to keep the church intact.

We don't know it, we take it for granted.

Some of us in church might even wonder if God exist.

But just because we didn't know it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

We came this close to losing our church building this weekend.
