What would you grab on your way out of a burning building?

July 28^th

I learned an interesting lesson about a week ago… People (and dogs) often ask “If you were running out of a burning building and could only grab one thing, what would you grab?” Well, I kind of got to test that theory. It was a hot Saturday, and we had the windows open, and were doing laundry. Our laundry room is very small, and shares a corner with our water heater (heated by natural gas). We suddenly started smelling a strong smell or rotten eggs, and decided it may be best to call maintenance from outside the apartment. The smell was getting stronger, and we nervously shut off all the lights, and exited the premises. Our neighbor saw us and asked what was going on. We filled him in on the situation, and he asked if he could come in and take a look, as he was an ex-fireman. We allowed him, and he took one sniff, and advise we not only get out, but let the rest of the tenants in the same building know of the situation, and call the fire department, and natural gas people. At that moment, I was really afraid of the building possibly catching fire. In that moment I realized something. I had my 2 masters, and they had each other. And that would be enough if the building came down. We would have a lot of work to do with insurance, passwords, and re-building afterword’s, but it could be done. J God gave us each other, and His love, and the promise that He would take care of the rest.

We also told the bunnies not to play with matches anymore.
