Barn North of Moscow Burns

On the evening of Monday the 21st of October, a barn 5 miles north of Moscow on Foothill Road caught fire and burned to the ground. The barn housed Grand American Piano, a piano restoration business owned and operated by Clint Hughes. About 30 pianos and a guitar collection were destroyed, as well as many other valuables.

The fire began at approximately 8:00 p.m., with law enforcement on the scene by about 8:15 p.m. It smoldered through the night, with the last flames extinguished the next morning around 9 a.m.

The owner Clint Hughes, in California picking up pianos when the fire happened, wrote the following on his Facebook wall the next day.

Last night, our family business of 25 years, Grand American Piano, burned to the ground. Although it was an indescribable shock to me (as I’m still on a long-distance piano haul) it wasn’t a shock to God. And even though I’m at a complete loss for words, God is not.

“Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said:
‘Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away;
Blessed be the name of the Lord.’
In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.”
Job 1:20-22

All I can think of doing at this point is praying, and I would ask that you all would pray for us as well.
