I shouldn't make light of it, and I'm sure it's upsetting to the people of that congregation, but on the other hand, the thing cost $250,000 to build, and I can't help thinking a lot of hungry and homeless people could have been better helped with that money.
My food is problematic.

Catching up on natter: flea - just how did your dh respond to Owen? (I laughed . . . and I'm afraid I might have laughed had I been in your husband's position.)
ION - 245 lb alligator found at lagoon on campus (here in Northern Illinois!) - kind of makes me happy that I haven't been walking to work.. .

Allyson, I'm constantly behind, but I in fact live in Columbus.
I also love The IT Crowd, the name Terminator Jesus, and am craving a Skyline coney.
