Church in Temple Texas Burned Down

January 19th, 2010

The First Baptist Church in Temple TX has been burned down. This marks the 8th church in Texas to be burned down since January 2010. This church is a little further off the map in more of a central Texas area than where most of the churches were burned in East Texas.

The arsonist appear to be evading authorities by moving from city to city before things become too obvious. These criminals will be caught eventually and I encourage everyone to install security cameras that have night surveillance ability outside their church buildings.

Local Tyler Texas and East TX churches can pick up night video security cameras at Sam’s Wholsale Club for fairly cheap. If your church members pull in together and install one of these cameras on your outside facilities you should be able to get the arsonists in action and bring this church burning issue to a quick close.

These people in my opinion are probably highschoolers believing this is somehow fun. They could also be Muslim extremists also relatively young as Muslim extremists usually are. Considering the arsonists burned down a Church of Christ Scientist they obviously do not know the difference between a real Christian church and a cult.

Because the arsonists are targeting any building that appears to be a church it could be that they do not have a good understanding of what is considered a Christian church which leads me to consider the possibility that they are Muslim. It is also possible these people could be atheists but I don’t believe atheists normally use violence to make their point.

The only other possibility is that these people are just your run of the mill pyros like the guy in the movie “The Stand”.

In the past I would take my car in to have a glass chip repaired or to have my windshield replaced because I simply never thought that there was such thing as a mobile service where they would come to your home or work and replace your window. Since then I have gotten with it and I now only call those mobile window repair services to replace my window. In some cases the window replacement will not cost you anymore money by having them repair it on site. I really can’t beat the convenience of a service like this.

Christian Science Church Tyler Burned Down Today

Christian Science Church 1st Address and Phone Number

Church of Christ Scientist Tyler

Tyler, TX 75701

Today represents the 7th church in East Texas to be burned to the ground by arsonists. According to sources the Christian Science church in Tyler TX near Bergfeld Park was burned down. This church is also known as Church of Christ Scientist. These church burnings are being intentionally burned down by pyro freaks who seem to get a kick out of the news stories and publicity surrounding the burnings. The problem is their motivation is what will eventually nab them. An arsonist has a twisted point of view in thinking that they will not get caught. With this many church burnings in Tyler and East Texas you will find a heightened level of security and surveillance at many churches throughout the area.

Neighbors and citizens of Tyler Texas are now on the watch for any suspicious activity around a church, especially at night. The fact that the Christian Science church was burned down in the early hours of the evening tonight proves just how invincible these people must think they are at being caught.

Our pastor has made the point that what these arsonists do not realize is that Christian people in the city of Tyler will be praying for the hearts and minds of these arsonists. God will eventually get a hold of these people’s spiritual corrupt state and hopefully turn them around to the saving faith in Jesus Christ.  Our pastor encourages local Christian believers to pray for these people and for the churches that have been the victims of these crimes.

Christian Science Church is only the latest in these wave of East Texas church burnings. It is only a matter of time until these people are caught. I really think that these people are probably teenagers and may even be intelligent people but with just a twisted spiritual and mental state which causes them to make really bizarre and evil choices. Tyler is filled with churches almost on every street corner which is why we are considered the heart of the Bible belt. I encourage everyone to be on the lookout and feel free to leave a comment if you see anything suspicious or know anything about who these people might be.

The people who burnt down Christian Science Church in Tyler probably have a motive that revolves around the notion that there are a lot of churches in town. Because Tyler has so many churches it may seem to be an obvious target for someone as twisted as these people are. I assume they are going after the attention that a stunt like this would cause because so many people are affected when a church is burnt to the ground.

If we all work together in the city of Tyler we can quickly put a stop to these people and bring upon them swift justice.

Here’s a listing of the 7 churches of East Texas to have burned so far… (1) Lake Athens Baptist Church, (2) Grace Community Church Athens, (3) Faith Church Athens, (4) Little Hope Baptist Church, (5) a church in Martin’s Mill, (6) Tyland Baptist Church Tyler, and (7) Church of Christ Scientist Tyler. All of these since January 1st 2010… Please pray!

Tyland Baptist Church – Tyler TX Burned Down Tonight

January 16th, 2010

image349235496.jpgA few people burned down Tyland Baptist church tonight. This represents the 2nd time this Tyler church has burned down. This time the church was burned down on purpose by a few people according to people living near by.

According to neighbors the people lit the church on fire from outside. The neighbors watched as the church was set on fire and called authorities. The church went up in flames very quickly and at this time it appears to be completely ruined.

The Tyland Baptist church congregation came to see the damage that had been done tonight and the church was still smoking although the flames had been put out by the local Tyler fire department.

According to the psychological profiles that have been developed regarding pyro’s they are usually sick sick people. Usually a pyro freak that burns downs churches may also participate in torturing animals and have other psychological problems. They are usually men around highschool age. Among the other psychological issues according to some sources are sexual identity issues, incest, and violence towards women.

Besides burning things down a pyro will usually have many more evil things going on in their life as has been mentioned. These people need prayer and counseling and a stint in prison. They are becoming more arrogant and obviously have a bit of feeling as if they will never be caught as this is church number 4 or 5 now to be burned in East Texas and the Feds are saying there is an obvious pattern.

The Weather in Tyler, Texas

January 14th, 2010

Growing up in Colombia, South America we always dreamt of snow. In fact, we used to dress leafless trees for Christmas, with cotton, simulating snow. In Colombia, snow is foreign to the people that live in the cities and many have never seen it fall. To see snow, you have to go to the top of the tallest mountains. The weather is always the same depending on the altitude of the city in which you live. The fact is that people somewhat have a desire of experiencing the four seasons of the year.

My family and I also lived in Waterloo, Iowa for 10 years and could see the dread of winter on the faces of people, especially those who grew up there. Winter is long and the warm months are short. You need to love the cold and snow to live up there.

We’ve been living in Tyler, Texas on and off for the past 20 years and something that I appreciate about the weather here in Tyler is to be able to enjoy and experience all the seasons that are somewhat balanced. It does not matter what time of the year it is, you can still go outside and work or enjoy walking or playing, and at the same time enjoy the changes of the seasons that nature has to offer. Something that we enjoy is seeing the green everywhere, combined with the beautiful colors of the flowers in the spring.

Tyler also has the multicolor change of the leaves of the trees in autumn. When our friends from New Mexico come to visit, they are always impressed by the beauty of the colors.

Like every place, it has its pros and cons. The summers in Tyler and east Texas could be a little harsh. Heat and humidity can make someone that is coming from a dryer place, run away. Nevertheless, it is a matter of time before someone can adapt to the humidity. I don’t know how people survived the heat before air conditioning was invented because summer, especially in the months of July and August, is unbearable. Apart from those two months, I think the weather of the rest of the year is amazing. I must say that this year, winter has been colder than normal but the good news is that it has been short lived.

Something that always makes my wife nervous is the tornados. She is originally from New Mexico and tornados are seldom ever seen in that part of the country. We have never experienced one, even though they were common in Iowa and frequently experienced here in Texas. They have come close to us and we have had to go to storm shelters on many occasions. In all of the years we have been in and out of Texas, we have not experienced anything like one and hope we never will.

In general, Tyler and east Texas have very nice, balanced weather that encourages and invites people to stay. It is combined with the friendly faces of its people which we have happily experienced for many years already.
