Chasing the Leaks




This morning Stacy Murry, Shay Caldwell and I went hunting. We were hunting for the source of leaks in or around our church's steeple. Since none of us are in the roofing business we can't promise that the problem is fixed, but we are hopeful. We should know soon since it is suppose to rain again tonight or tomorrow.

Yes, that is me on the ladder propped against the steeple. It kind of reminded me of the time I set up the ladder in the back of my truck. Thankfully, this went better. Honestly, being on the ladder was not the worst of it. The hardest part for me was climbing into the heart of the steeple to check for obvious leaks. I don't like spiders and snakes . . . so that little boxed in area was not very inviting. I know, I know . . . there was no danger of snakes. But the spiders had found a home and it was into that home that I crawled. I think they were so shocked to see someone come into their space for the first time in nineteen years that they decided not to venture too close.

If the foyer stays dry the next time it rains it will have been worth it. If the foyer continues to leak, at least Stacy, Shay and I will know we gave it our best effort. By the way guys, thanks for hanging onto that ladder!

Hopeful,
Johnny
