Air Conditioner for Sale

One week old air conditioner for sale...

We are very thankful because by the mercies of God we were spared and not hurt by a fire in our bedroom. Our newly installed air conditioner caught fire Saturday night with Maia sleeping in the bedroom. When we caught it, the room was beginning to be full of smoke, and we had a hard time disconnecting the power because the breakers did not stop the power, or the other switches, and we had to disconnect the power from the line. The thing went up in flames just as we finally got the main line disconnected and we were able to douse it with water. But, we are so thankful because the situation could have been a lot worse. If it had been a wood house it would have been up in flames as all the 240 wires running throughout the house melted and burned. Also the bed, which was right under that air-conditioner could have caught fire. Anyway, Praise be to God for His hand of protection!

On the lighter side, Here's little Miss Joy enjoying life in Haiti
