CINCINNATI, OH- Three fire trucks arrived in the parking lot of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church in Milford, Ohio early Tuesday morning when someone called 911 to report the church on fire.
But firefighters were greeted with some confused employees in the church office and no smoke billowing out of the windows. As it turns out, a neighbor was concerned when he overheard the pastor of Christ Our Savior talking to the cashier at a nearby coffeehouse about the problem his church was having being “ablaze.”
After evacuating the church, firefighters determined there was no fire.
Leaders in the church are hopeful this confusion won’t happen again, but there are no guarantees. At the height of the Pentecostal movement, many fire departments responded to calls by neighbors worried about rumors that the churches were set on fire by a spirit.

It looks like your blog has been doused, and is no longer ablaze with sarcasm and ironic humor. You should seriously think about having a mission statement at the top of your blog, along with a detailed vision plan for your blog. Then it would probably get more hits, or "organ encounters," which may not necessarily turn into regular readers of your blog. However, some of them will probably catch your fire and remain longtime members, I mean, readers.
nothing from the organ for holy week or easter?
