From the Heart.

We had two good weeks of camp at KBA this year.  I had an interesting experience this year at children’s camp.  For the past number of years I have been staying in one of the little motel rooms located on the KBA campgrounds.  On Monday evening when I retired to the room, I noticed that the air conditioning was not cooling.  Having a fan I positioned the fan on me and was able to sleep through the night.  On Tuesday, I notified the camp ground that the air conditioner not working.  Later in the day I was told that the air conditioner was fixed.  So that Tuesday night, I went into the room and sure enough the room was cool.  It was going to be a good night of sleep, but at 11:00 p.m. that night there was a loud pop and the air conditioner went off.  Not knowing what the situation was I turned it off not wanting anything worse to happen.  As it turned out the switch on the unit had malfunctioned.  With no other available rooms and not wanting to sleep in the boys dormitory I brought out the old fan and thankfully it was able to keep me cool enough through the remaining nights. 

Three thoughts have crossed my mind as I have reflected on this: 1. I don’t take for granted the air conditioning because it can go out.  2.  Our parents and fore fathers were tough to live in a time when air condition was not available for them as they lived their lives. 3. Genesis 3:8 “And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.” 

The LORD God is with us at all times even when the air condition doesn’t work.
