One of the buildings which was destroyed was the grace baptist church. Our correspondent sophie long is in hawaii and spoke to some of the congregation. The fire that left more than a city devastated and charred, black buildings behind. Questions hover above the emptiness. How can you rebuild from this . What will exist here in the future . A now churchless congregation gathered at a coffee shop to share their pain. One of the Police Officers sent me the pictures. Of what used to be. My house. I wept. But weeping is not a lack of faith. Thank god that he gave us tears. Amazing grace. There are so many questions that remain without answers. Why did one survive to sit in a makeshift church when their neighbour didnt . What will become of their community so crippled by a loss that is still being counted . I dont think it will ever be the same. I hope it will be better, so thats my prayer, and i believe that. I think one day it can be an even better lahaina than it was. That is what i hope

Authorities were swift to issue orders, forbidding pictures of the blast, and instructing telephone operatos to slow down. There were stories unfolding in turkey, the battle between the military and kurdish fighters. The air strikes on i. S. I. L. In syr

When i had the opportunity to come to the ballroom, it is such a thrill for me because i know that this provided inspiration for fitzgerald, and the kind of stories that he was interested in to make money. The saturday evening post stories. This is the epitome of that huge volume of work that he produced that he felt a little bit ashamed of, but are wonderful stories. And so i see this as a real positive place for his career. There was one particular party at his house that actually fitzgerald didnt attend, and apparently a young man it was a costume ball, and they like to have costume balls and this room would have been filled with many people in different options. A young man differently dressed up in a campbells outfit and went to the wrong house. Who knows why .
