My folks and I were driving down The Springs Road and saw the remains of the church that burned down a couple of days ago. Rumor has it that arson is suspected. The church had been for sale for a number of months and then one night it burned down. We did not hear if there were any casualties or not. Regardless, I can’t help but wonder about the story behind that. I never knew much about that church; never knew why it was listed for sale. I often wondered if the congregation had acquired a different building and why. Was it being occupied by homeless people that were using some kind of open flame to heat the place and it got out of control? Or was it set deliberately, in order to collect on an insurance policy, or just because an arsonist likes to set fires and watch places burn down.
Whatever the reason, I find it sad that any church would be burned down. I hope no one was injured.
