All eyes around here are at least peeking
occasionally at Florida. Hurricane
Dorian is barreling toward the east coast of Florida. All models put it hitting there, but turning
northward before it ever gets to us on the western Gulf Coast. Checking our hurricane list … just in
case. Peak of the season is mid-September.
I went up to the church yesterday to
deliver the supplies we bought at Sam’s and to meet with our Seaside
electrician, Jim. On Sunday after a
video, we tried to turn the overhead lights back on, and nothing happened. Just … nothing. Completely dead.
Fortunately we have a Jesus-church kind of
building. That’s the kind where the
construction causes you to look around at each other, and it has some large
windows as well. A God-church
construction causes you to look up when you enter the room. Usually very ornate. Stained glass windows and the like. A Holy Spirit-church construction, on the
other hand would have been most helpful.
That would be a Jesus church with lots and lots of windows. Let’s in lots of light.
Anyway, our two large windows provided us
with enough light to see, and everything else power-wise worked just fine. Jim worked on it for more than an hour,
trying to track down the source of the glitch.
He plans to return today with a more extensive selection of tools. Electricians are among those professions that
I look up to as untouchable from my arena of expertise. I know nothing and do my best to stay out of
the way. From my perspective, our
problem Sunday was caused by the Attack of the Mysterious Electricity-Munching
Monster. Kudos to Jim as he attacks back
…
Psalms 118:24 says, “The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice and be glad.”
Father, I know he has developed the skills
over the course of his life, so please give Jim the wisdom he needs to track
down the electricity issue. Amen.
