New Church and the Tornado

In February of this year, Hickory Grove Missionary Baptist Church, a 144-year-old congregation in rural Hancock County near Sparta, Georgia, dedicated a $150,000 addition to their church.  That’s a lot of money.  It’s a fucking load of money when a good proportion of your congregation lives in trailer homes.  God saw what these folks had done; saw that they’d taken their hard-earned money and used it to improve a church when they already had one that worked just fine.  And on February 18, 2009, by way of thanks, the Lord sent a tornado that completely destroyed the church.

WTF?

Build a church to me, and you can be sure that I won’t send a fucking tornado to tear it down.
