Our air conditioner is leaking. Inside the house. The ceiling is wet in the downstairs bathroom because the inside air handler unit is above it on the second floor.
I’ve been talking to God about the leaky air conditioner and the exhorbitant cost of a new unit. And, I’ve been reading Job in my morning devotionals.
My prayer life has been enriched by the desperate need for several thousand dollars to fix the air conditioner. For 32 years, Kay and I have been financially supported by a team of financial partners in our faith-mission work. We’ve raised 3 children, seen all 3 graduate from college, seen 2 marry (still praying for the 3rd spouse!). We’ve seen God’s provision every step of the way. But we’ve never seen an abundance where we get to prepare ahead of time for these costly opportunities.
So I’ve been wondering where the money will come from for this current need. It’s easy to berate myself for not doing more to prepare.
This morning, God spoke to me through my friends Angie and Scott. Angie wrote “What God doesn’t say”. You really gotta read this!

thanks for sharing this, dad! In these first few days of class, I have been battling my negative perspective…looking at all the tasks and goals and assignments I HAVE to do…forgetting, for instance, that I have 15 weeks with a class of peers and a prof dedicated to working through the book of Romans…how awesome is that!!

Yep. It’s a good reminder. dAd

On the non-spiritual side of your post. If not exactly diagnosed yet, it sounds like a clogged drain. You have a couple of options to fix that. The funnest one is to put some pressure on the pipe and blow it clean. Can be done with blast(s) of air or connect a hose up to the pipe and force it out. Bleach has been another one as the cause of the clog many times is algae. As they say here in Oz that would be “heaps cheaper” than repairing the unit. I would guess Russ has experience in this area if you need some additional help. I know Jerry H has.

I meant “heaps cheaper” than REPLACING the unit. I do know a good Aircon man in Orlanod if you want a recommendation. Just email me if you need it.
