The Grand -- If you cut me, I would shine. - the conversation i was having in my head

The church is not its building

And yet, we feel such loss.

Our beautiful church building--the one right around the corner from our house, dear for so many reasons--burned down early this morning. As we struggle through disbelief and sadness, we are profoundly comforted by and freshly aware of the reality that God has chosen to dwell within and among us, that indeed the church is not a building. Never was.

And so, though we grieve, still our hearts will chose to say, "Blessed be the name of the LORD."
