Fogo

There are some phone calls in my life I will never forget. I have a few - my parents being called into school, the call to say my grandfather had died, another to say my dad had a heart attack and todays will be added to this list! "Chris, you need to get up here quickly - there is a fire at the nursery." 

There is nothing like it to make me shift my butt into gear. I ran the whole way (that in itself was a sight). One of the pastors said as I ran past him its ok you are too late you missed the drama. Seeing the drama was the last thing on my mind I just wanted to see if the kids and Tia's were OK! 

I got there to find all the kids fine and quite enjoying the attention they were getting from the on lookers.Thankfully, beside shock everyone was good. The building was dusty and smokey but nothing that didn't take too long to sort out.  

It could have been so much worse. The gas bottle caught on fire, the how and why I really won't bore you with but man what a day. 
Please pray for the tias it's been a real week for them.
