Church fire in Altus, Okla.
(By Erik)
Our prayers are with members of the Thomas Street Church of Christ in Altus, Okla., the church where Jeanie grew up and where we were married in June 2003.
We learned this morning that the church building was badly damaged by an early morning fire. There were no injuries reported, and the church's family life center survived. This is the church where both of Jeanie's parents work. Firefighters believe that a problem in the heating system may have started the blaze.
The good news is that everyone is fine. I just got off the phone with my mother-in-law, who informed me that the communion trays miraculously survived the fire.
Praise God for the little things.

You sound just like a reporter. Glad that no one was hurt, but I'm sure it will be hard on everyone. Even our church buildings, though temporary earthly structures, mean a lot to us. Many memories are often found there.
Whaddaya mean, "sound just like a reporter?"
