If you have watched the news since yesterday, I'm sure you've heard about a massive fire in East Greenbush on Best Road. That was the house that Angela lived in. Her entire apartment, and the entire house is leveled. She lost everything, including Zeke (her cat which was her BABY). The Calderone family, who owned the whole thing, also lost everything.
It was the worst thing I've ever seen. I was at the scene from about 4-9:30 and even at 9:30 they were still trying to keep the fire from starting up again and again. Fire crews were there until around midnight. There were more then eight fire departments that were there.
She lost absolutely everything, I just.....there are no words at this point.
Around 8 o'clock, she went walking around and we all got a text....I FOUND MY BIBLE!
I had goosebumps. Then she walked over with it. Sure it's burnt on the outside, but the Word inside is still there, perfectly legible. The verse that kept running through my mind was 1 Peter 1:24-25:
"All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever."
The link to a newscast of this is:
I feel sick, I can't even believe this happened to her.
Please keep Angela and the Calderone family in your prayers and thoughts. If you want to help out in any way, either contact me, or Angela, or stop into the family shop, Angie B's, in Rennselaer.
