So it feels like we live in Miami now a days. I believe in global warming because I can’t remember this many consecutive days of butt sweat heat since reading Dante’s Inferno in high school. We have had one small air conditioner in our house that I have been moving daily from our bedroom to the living room and back again, which wouldn’t be too bad if the air conditioner itself were slightly stronger than me blowing on my hot pizza to avoid mouth burn.
Anyway, someone in our church somehow figured out that we were never home becuase of frequent field trips to the library or the grocery store or any place that would let us sit in the air conditioning for a few hours. So they decided to buy us another air conditioner out of the goodness of their heart. While we tried to politly refuse because “we really like the library… alot”. They insisted and were blessed to give us a new one. Amazing.
Sometimes I read Acts 2 and feel like that was so long ago. Nobody shares anymore. That community living selflessly for each other was basically high school summer camp where we are on a spiritual high because we just saw Jesus and now we’ve gotten past that. We are in Corinth hanging out with the selfish people all fighting over church style or in galatia, fighting over circumcision.

But then someone comes along and gives you some grace and you are reminded of the heart of God. He is good, and that makes me want to do better than I have.
