So sorry for such bad news. Is there insurance coverage?

I've never really given much thought to the possibilities of a church being destroyed, but obviously, those more involved in the fiduciary matters think those things through.
Was the church made of wooden construction? With the church being so old, I'm thinking that's likely.

I'm confident other congregations and perhaps even some civic organizations will reach out and make a place and time for your congregation to meet.

Franklin Graham - What is wrong with this guy?

Without his father's last name, no one would have hard of him.

Ditto, ann. nt

It seems several more of us are (involuntarily) sacrificing this Lent

without rug's contributions.

Family member sought out spouse online in a group of his own

religion. I believe that it was important enough to him and eliminated a lot of possible problems - now and down the line.

If you have certain criteria, get it out front before engaging and taking up another person's time and expectations.

He conversed by phone for about a month before meeting the one he selected. They were engaged after second month. Now married.

Were Jindal and Perry in on the joke, too?

Or are they the joke?

Is there a Meals on wheels in your community? Or a

church group that could provide a visitor or occasional dinner?

The president of the Firefighters' Union said tonight (on Tweetie, I think)

that 44% of his union is Republican. That's a fairly large percentage, though not surprising.

They had better be wary of Republican governors who want to take away their pensions, close down some stations, and get by with fewer firefighters.

Many Cincy Dems who voted for Sittenfeld have not gotten over

his flip-flop on the streetcar issue.
He also had apparently indicated that he would get out of the Senate race if Strickland chose to run. - At least, that's the way many interpreted his words -"That could change things".
The flip-flopping meme could come back to bite him if/when he runs against a Republican.

No doubt Sittenfeld is a money-raising machine, and gets the ear of many well-connected pols and contributors.
And, no doubt, Ohio Dems could use some fresh faces and younger voices.
Just not sure that PG hasn't spoiled the pot before it's had a chance to do its magic.
