The Refrigerator Repair

Yesterday I called the repairman to come and service our refrigerator. He walked in and immediately unscrewed the cover on the back, reached in and pulled out a part and said here's your problem. No testing, no looking, just bam, here's your problem.

As he switched out the part he told me that the likelihood was that since this one part had gone up, the condenser had gone up as well. If that was the case, I should just buy a new fridge. When the moment of truth came, he told me to cross my fingers. Instead I said a prayer.

Like a champ, it started running. He looked at me and said, "You're one of the lucky ones." I replied that I just considered myself blessed. Took an opportunity to share my faith with him, that I entrust those things to God, and that's how I live my life. I asked him if he attended church, and he said, "No, I don't really go to church. I live in Harford county." (Sometimes people have strange reasons for not going to church.)
