The sun truly shines on the righteous…

Coincidental post-implosion sunbeams or divine intervention?

I am not a religious man. It is my belief that, if there were a benevolent God smiling down upon us, my beloved West Ham wouldn’t be propping up the English premier league table.

However, even with my total lack of spirituality, there is something vaguely divine about the following video.

As you may recall, we reported last week that the First Baptist Church in Dallas was to implode several neighbouring buildings this weekend to kick-start the development of a new 21st century campus. However, there was considerable local concern that these implosions – which were to take place less than 50 feet from the church – might inflict damage on the 120-year old church itself.

Judging by the closing frames of the following video, they needn’t have worried. For, as the dust clears, celestial sunbeams bathe the undamaged church in what I can only describe as a celestial glow.

So God bless you all.
