TODAY,WHEN I WOKE UP I HEARD SHENEILE JONES AND OTHERS REPORTING ON THE CHURCH FIRE,I WASN'T QUITE WOKE YET,THEN I HEARD 32ND AND BERKS,I PANIC,YOU SEE THE PRINCE-OF PEACE CHURCH USED TO BE THE STOKLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ,THIS IS WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH MY OTHER SIBLINGS,THIS IS WHERE WE PLAYED DURING THE HOT SUMMER DAYS,ALSO 32ND STREE IS WHERE MY BROTHER STILL LIVE WITH HIS FAMILY.AS,I LOOK AT THE FIRE,ALL I COULD DO IS CRY,MAYBE FOR SELFISH REASONS,I JUST KEPT THINKING ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD DAYS AT THE STOKLEY SCHOOL.MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE PASTOR AND THE MEMBERS,I DO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL,BECAUSE WHEN I WAS IN THE 6TH GRADE,STOKLEY SCHOOL CAUGHT FIRE,I REMEMBER VERY WELL,WE COULDN'T GO TO SCHOOL FOR THE SMOKE DAMAGE AND SMELL,NOW STOKLEY SCHOOL, NOW KNOW AS PRINCE -OF- PEACE IS REALLY GONE DUE TO ANOTHER FIRE,BUT,I AM GLAD THAT WE ARE TAUGHT ,THE CHURCH IS IN THE HEART AND NO FIRE OR ANYTHING CAN TAKE THAT AWAY.
