A church in Georgia just set up a big $25,000 granite fountain on its lawn, circulating water to the tune of 1,000 gallons a minute.  Now that ought to be enough to satisfy any Baptist.  But what on earth is a church doing taking God Almighty’s money in a time of great need like this and setting up a little old fountain on its lawn to bubble water around?  “I was thirsty...and ye built me a fountain.”
