Friday evening there was an accident outside, errr, "in" my church building. Two vehicles collided at the intersection, pushing one of the vehicles through the front doors. Many tongue in cheek comments could be, and have been, made (sure, they're breaking down the doors of the church).
The statement that caught my attention was: "no one was inside the church at the time." And the wee small voice inside my head asked with an ache, "why not?"

Bizarre! I mean the car accident, not the fact that no one was in the church. Maybe (he said optimistically) it was a good sign that no one was in the church, as they were all busy doing good deeds.
