And here I thought it was only people that were busy closing down church buildings. Apparently, even nature is conspiring to remove churches from their buildings (thanks to alert reader Brian S. for the link). Probably a sign of the Apocalypse. Or an occasion for a great laugh (from a distance.)
One time, when my mentor Bob and I were in the basement of the church he pastors in Britton, Michigan, we encountered a bat. Freaked us out. But we overcame. We grabbed trash can lids, brooms and other implements of destruction and flushed the bat into a Sunday school classroom. Slammed the door. That's all I remember about our extermination efforts.
I guess those kids had the "object lesson" of their life that Sunday.
