Okay, okay I know the opening was a little over the top but I wanted to get your attention. Our brother Phil had a fire at his house last night around 3:30am. The fire itself was contained in the garage and fortunately/unfortunately he only lost his truck, his Harley (yes, we can all grab a tissue now) and damaged his daughter's truck. The firemen (down, Dawne, down!) were able to put it out and the only damage to the inside of the house is smoke and water. He is just very thankful that the smoke alarms woke him and he was able to find the fire. He called 911 quickly and they were able to put it out before it got out of control.
Please keep him in your prayers for both the strength to get through the trials of dealing with the insurance company and also that the process moves along as swiftly as possible. At the moment he has informed us that he doesn't need anything but we will definitely keep you updated if and/or when that changes!
We love you Phil and you will be covered in prayer I am sure of it!!!!

Thank you all for the phone calls, visits, texts, and prayers. You guys and ladies are amazing! God has shown me through this tragedy that Godly people matter to him, and not the worldy possessions. Although, I will miss the Harley, but maybe God has told me to just stick to my slow bicycle (which also got cooked). I have definitely been blessed with true Christlike friends. Praise be to HIM, and many thanks to all!!!
Phil
Phil,
I am so sorry this happened. I will be praying for you. The fact that you can still praise God when you have such a thing happen is such an inspiration! You're in our prayers and let us know if we can help.
Phil,
Wow...just when we've learned to be content huh? I am so relieved to hear that you are okay. Please let us know how we can help. Let the love of your friends be a comfort to you! Sharona's sense of humor in her message about the fire shows how close we are becoming as a life group.
Hey, we'll both miss the Harley. I sure am glad you are okay. That was a very close call. I've gotten used to having you around, now let's keep it that way ;)
