Yep, I know this is cheating for a blog post, but it was way too funny to pass up...
Disaster Response from ACS...
Our hearts were broken today for our brothers and sisters in Christ at First Baptist Church of Temple, Texas this morning. At this moment, it appears that their worship center, offices, and much of their education space is a total loss.
