The pastor allowed him to preach.

The sermon title simple but...... Holy ghost and Fire! Very anointed sermon... had 9 get the holy ghost and in the middle of the altar call we noticed there were some ... ummm.. extra people at the altar.. the fire chief was in talking to our pastor who then took the assistant back to tell him that his house had just burned to the ground...

That was the hardest time for him.. a lot of things he didnt understand.. but at that time he was in process of losing his business his home his cars and his used car lot... things werent good... God worked it all out somehow.. thru the pain... and the insurance paid and he was able to build a new house paid for in full... a 5 bay car shop in back and purchase a new vehicle for his wife and have a good bit left! God worked it out beyond anything they could ever imagine! No it is not what one would have to lose it all... but God is more and has more in store sometimes than what we could ever imagine!
God sure can, Thanks for sharing what God can do...

Nathan,

What a terrible thing to happen anytme but especially here at Christmas.

I trust and pray that they had homeowners insurance? If so at least that will replace the things that can be replaced.

In these situations the worst part is losing the photographs and other mementos that cannot be replaced.

CC1 thanks for praying for them. I know the Lord will bring them through with greater faith....

I personally spent time scanning all of my photo's and have them stored in several places.

So they can be retrieved.

Many fo their items are gone.....

God still is Great!

God Bless,

Neck, I am sorry for your family. Elder Robert Trapani has meant a lot to me over the years. he spent a lot of time in DeRidder in the early 80's.

We are praying for your family.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I know elder Robert Trapani can also use prayer for his health.

Thanks so much.

Anthony and Donna are just dizzy right now trying to figure out what to do next.

I just saw this, Nathan.

I am praying for the Trapani's!

I echo CS's comment about sufficiency of suffering on their part. God is still God and though we are often perplexed and worried He is not troubled in the least by this awful event!

Anthony my brother in law also had to go to the hospital for shortness of breath.

He is out and at a hotel with my sister.
