I live in a small Mid-western town of only about 12,000 people. We have 26 churches here! (I googled it today.) I had an old school friend visit yesterday. She had spent a lot of time here as a kid because her grand parents lived here. They went to the Methodist church every Sunday. She wanted to go by and see it. I asked if she knew where it was. She said, “With as small as this town is you don’t know where the Methodist church is?”
I said, “Man, we have a million churches here!” and I started pointing them out as we drove around town.
After about the 17th church in about as many blocks she said, “Val, you don’t belong here!”
I laughed and said, “Yeah, I feel I’m going to burst into flames sometimes!”
So how many churches compared to population does your town have?
