I told my parents when I was in my early teens that I would be married in that church. My current wife did not want to be Wed in a church due to previous traumas. We have been going through a divorce for the last year, and now the most endearing part of Dallas, the monument I saw as union and commitment, has burned. It feels like a sign. But maybe I'm just another crazy old man.

@eddielane9569 5 ай бұрын

I would not be surprised if arson is the cause but with all of the water that has flooded through that basement the evidence is likely washed away. The reason I think arson is because they had just closed the doors after VBS and then shortly afterwards the fire starts. Someone either stayed behind and hid to start the fire or broke in and then pored and accelerant in the basement to start that fire. I hope that didn't happen but as a retired Paramedic/ Firefighter I usually am pretty good at figuring some of these things out.
