The Night Before

The building of Zion Church, at 9th & D, is going to be demolished tomorrow around noon. See this press release for more details.

Right now I'm feeling pretty sick about all this. I haven't written much on the blog because I've been working steadily on creating/adding content to the new website and taking care of tons of details related to church life. But the gist of my feelings tonight is this: I feel terrible about demolition. It's like I'm burying an old friend or family member tomorrow at noon and right now I'm simply trying to memorize every wrinkle on his face or recall every time he did something kind for me.

The old church building feels like a friend and I keep telling this competely inanimate structure, "I'm so sorry," as though I could've somehow prevented this disaster.

If I end up seeing my counselor anytime soon, I think she and I will have lots to talk about.
