Close to Home

You may have heard that a plane hit an office building here in Austin this morning. It hit pretty close to "home". Rob used to work close to this area, but he is now on the main campus. The plane actually hit next door to our church. The building complex has three sister buildings. Our church uses Echelon III for our adult Sunday Schools. Echelon II is between Echelon III and our church children's building. Several of my friends were there assembling crafts and such for our Sunday School children's classes. Pretty scary. Praise God, all but one person is accounted for at this time. Our prayers are with the family of the missing worker, the family of the pilot, emergency workers, and those who have been tramatized today.

The news is reporting that the pilot was heading for the IRS office housed in this building. He had a teenage daughter and a wife. He apparently set his own home ablaze before intentionally crashing into this building. The FBI is currently investigating.

This is our church.
This is our children's building.
Our Church parking lot.
Although I am not positive, as these stones are pretty common in this area, but this could possibly be the side yard of our Children's play yard.
