“Goodbye Elyria Water Tower!”
When our kids were very young, we lived in Elyria, Ohio for ten years, where I ministered at Open Door Christian School and Church of the Open Door. Whenever we would leave on vacation, we would pass the Elyria water tower and all say, in a sing-songy voice, “Goodbye Elyria Water Tower!” When we returned home from vacation, of course, we would sing and shout out, “Hello Elyria Water Tower!”
When we moved from Elyria to Taneytown, Maryland, were I served as a pastor and professor for a combined 18 years, we passed the water tower one last time, and we sang out, “Goodbye Elyria Water Tower!”
