King of Kings Statue burns










In today's emails I receive notice that the "King of Kings" Jesus Statue (also known as the "Touchdown Jesus" statue was struck by lighting last night and burned to the ground.   The statue and the area around it suffered approximately $700,000 in damages and thank God, no one was hurt.

I also understand that the church has already made a statement that it plans to rebuild the statue, which led me to contacting them, and offering our help.  The online articles have stated the original structure to have cost $250,000 and took over a year to build YIKES!!!!!!  Seriously?  Well,  I can say one thing is for sure,  we can certainly build that for less and a lot quicker (two months tops)!   We do not tote ourselves as the "King of HUGE" for nothing!  Simply reviewing this blog's history of oversized projects alone proves that!!!  Anyway,  I'm not looking to diss anyone, but I do hope that if the church is going to rebuild the famous and now even more famous statue, that they will award us the job.  If they do, you our fans and readers will certainly know about it!!!  Stay tuned!
