Lifetime Guarranty

I bought some new Kobalt miniature screwdrivers from Lowes a few weeks ago. The terminals on the VFD's (variable frequency drive) I've been working on are small and the other Stanley screwdrivers aren't doing the trick. Plus, the Kobalt ones have plastic handles..... handy for when you have to work with the power on. Now, these VFD's are between 6 and $7,000 each, so I didn't feel too bad spending $15 on tools to work on them. Unfortunately, the pay scale for wiring and terminating them is the same as hooking up a phone jack in a modular home. Anyway, the first time they came out of my toolbag to hook up a new Allen-Bradley, the one I needed the most broke. The very first time! Good thing Lowes has an unconditional guarranty on their brand of tools. But that was a couple weeks ago, and I still haven't had a chance to return them and get a replacement.

Why do things break? Is it because they are used for something other than their intended purpose? or maybe they were just poorly crafted, or made with poor materials?

-

Why do marriages break that were meant - and vowed - to last a lifetime? This is one question for which I do know the answer. The reason: sin! And in particular, the desire to put my interests and appetites before my marriage partner's. selfishness.

Matthew 19:5,6

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Lord, help me on my journey to reconciliation with my wife and children. I have alienated myself from them and You. I would not blame them - my wife or children - if they never forgave me, or ever wanted to see me again. Also, please help me as I make plans to make right the many things I have done to others, namely - not keeping my word in paying people back for money I have borrowed. I pray that You will begin to soften the heart of my family: Heather, David, Danae, and Stephen. Prepare the way for me God, I have no other hope.

My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus' blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

but wholly lean on Jesus' name!

-

When darkness veils His lovely face,

I rest on His amazing grace.

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil!

-

When Christ shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh may I then in Him be found:

dressed in His righteousness alone,

faultless to stand before the throne!
