The Bible On Trial

Dishwashing~

Our dishwasher stopped working last Sunday. It just quit. Now I am not one to call a repair man the instant an appliance stops working. My natural reaction is to want to figure out what went wrong and fix it myself.  There are two reasons for this; 1) I just love the challeng of the 'hunt' for the solution, and 2) the cost of an in home repair by a certified technician is prohibitive ($150 for the call, credited to the repair). This becomes problematic the more complex the appliance, and dishwashers are notoriously complex, second only to refridgerators. So the next Monday after work I dug into it and discovered that the fasteners for the touch pad control were broken. So even if the control panel was OK I was going to have to replace it. One down. Next, I got out my multi-tester  to do continuity checks on the latch switch and also check for input power, and I discovered that it's battery was dead. Oh joy! No worries, I would get one on Tuesday when I went to work. So I ordered a panel from the appliance parts store I use, and was told that it wound be in in 2 weeks. Great. I just LOVE doing dished by hand.

Yesterday I replace the battery in the tester and started the continuity checks. The latch was OK. Power was OK. So what else could the problem be? Oops. I forgot to check the thermal fuse in the dishwasher. Sure enough, it was bad. No fuse, no power. So after our program today I will go get one at the parts store, and put the dishwasher back together with the old panel until the new one arrives. Yay!

Nothing that is electric works without power. Spiritual truth cannot work without power. If the sourse for your spiritual power is disabled, if your spiritual thermal fuse is blown, then you will be left without the power you need to find truth. The multi-tester for truth is the words of Jesus, the power (battery) for truth is the Holy Spirit. Check your battery!
