            <div class="xg_user_generated">Be sure to check out the photos album: "Thank God for Natural Gas Workers." A lot has been said about natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale over the last couple of years. But sometimes, a picture is worth 1,000 words. Check out these photos from the Bradford County roadside near the West Burlington United Methodist Church, which shares its spirit and its wisdom with all those who pass it by.</div>            </dd>
