Well today has been a sad day for me. I have been thinking about the church a lot. Today is the Anniversary of the fire. Not a memory I enjoy at all but unfortunately one I have. I remember sitting at work when someone in the neighborhood called my work to get in touch with me. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing “ Joseph your church is on fire hurry come quick” I flew down Ellington parkway to get there to find out that what I was praying to be a nightmare was really happen.
I have so many memories in that building I remember getting the Holy Ghost there, being baptized; the first time I ever preached was in that building. I grew up in that building it was more to me the just a place where we gather to worship on Sunday. It was also my pray closet during the week. When every thing was stressful I could go there to escape. When I walked in the doors it was like God just wrap his arms around me.
Are building may have not been the prettiest and we might have talked about the flaws all the time and talked about a new building a lot. But at least it was ours. Sometimes we take things for granted and don’t realize how blessed we are until we lose something. I would take that small building with all the problems any day over being homeless.
