I just got back from an emergency — late at night — won’t get much sleep before church tomorrow — tired —

Sounds dramatic, doesn’t it? Maybe you pictured me on an emergency call at the bedside of some deathly ill person. But it wasn’t anything like that.

We’ve been having problems with the boiler at church, I went down to check before I went to bed, and sure enough the heat was out and the building was chilly. I hit the reset button on the boiler, it came on for half an hour, went out again. So I called Advance Heating, waited for the repairman to come out, and then waited to see if it would be a quick fix. It looks like he’s going to be there for a while longer yet.

Not a particularly dramatic story. Most of my life as a minister is not particularly dramatic. At least we’ll have heat for the worship service tomorrow morning. Good night.
