love your sump pump

It has been a week since the Moderator, Vice Moderator and I had to deal with the flooding basement and a failing sump pump. Let me tell you, a sump pump is a terrible thing to waste. Take care of your sump pump! We have made jokes about the church needing an ark. Now that's a capital campaign for you. I have been at the church earlier than usual most mornings to meet plumbers and electricians. I have poked around and explored the basement of the church in all kinds of new and interesting ways...all in an effort to discern the level of sump pump failure.

Today, once again, I will go to church early and meet electricians and suburban dive crews (They replace floats on the big in-ground systems. You need a drop cage for something like that. I had no idea we had sharks in the sump basin. I thought that they were only in the pews. Live and learn!) as they valiantly try to repair our sump pump. I pray to God that this is the last time they have to come out. Let it be done today.

Once that sump pump is finished I am going to hold a special worship service to bless the sump pump and to ask for God's protection. We'll get a rainbow sticker or something for it. Never again shall the Lord destroy the earth by flood. Nope. The sump pump is a godly instrument, indeed!
