Last night there was a tragic fire down the street from The Bridge. Several residents, Mike and Michele, along with many neighbors watched as the apartment building burned. The Fire Crews on seen did an amazing job. I don't know all the details of the fire, but what we do know is it was horrible to watch everything burning so quickly. It was also a very clear reminder of how we really don't know what tomorrow will bring. I don't know how many people were directly affected by this fire, but in an instant all of their lives were changed. Their stuff was gone.... This fire was such reminder of the message Mike taught at the Monday night Most Excellent Way weekly meeting. At the meeting he reminded us that our value should be not be in the things we posses rather in our relationships. First our relationship with Jesus, then our relationships with our families, and others. No matter what a great job these firefighters did fighting this fire, the stuff inside was consumed so quickly. Where are your priorites? Are you focusing on only your stuff? Or are you spending time on building the right relationships?
