Church Fire

Video at WLOS.com

Barberville Baptist in Waynesville caught on fire this morning.

Churches burning always make me feel sorrowful, but this one is especially poignant.

Barberville is the church I went to as a child. I was saved there, and baptized there.

I also know a lot of the members that still go there.

My prayers are with them as they rebuild and move on. I also pray that other churches in the area use this opportunity to minister and help them, and not think, "I'm glad that wasn't my church," because in the big picture, it is our church. It may not be our building, but it is our church.

Deacon chair at Grandview just called me about this. Sad. Very, very sad.
