We've had a bizarre pair of days at the church this week...
So Sunday morning, we're in the middle of the service, doing a Christmas pageant, when we're informed by a guy in the congregation that the church is on fire. Yup. So we evacuate out into the parking lot, sub-zero weather at the time, as six fire trucks pull up.
The fire wasn't serious -- a box caught (or was lit) in a men's bathroom -- but the fire marshal said we could've lost the building if the fire had spread into the ceiling. We were very lucky to get away with only $15,000 worth of damages.
Then yesterday, due to this freezing weather, pipes burst in both my youth house AND our church's furnace room. I had to wade through an entry way full of spraying pipes (which, by the way, weren't spraying comforting, warm water, but instead the sort of stuff penguins are most at home in) to shut the pipes off. Wonderful fine print in my job description.
Today, I figure earthquake, so I'm staying home ;D
