Another quote from *[Gilead](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/031242440X/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)*. I’m guessing most pastors can relate:

> A woman in my flock called just after breakfast and asked me to come to her house. She is elderly, recently a widow, all by herself, and she had just moved from her farm to a cottage in town. You can never know what troubles or fears such people have, and I went. It turned out that the problem was her kitchen sink. She told me, considerably amazed that a reversal so drastic could occur in a lawful universe, that hot water came from the cold faucet and cold water from the hot faucet. I suggested she might just decide to take *C* for hot and *H* for cold, but she said she liked things to work the way they were supposed to. So I went home and got my screw-driver and came back and switched the handles. She said she guessed that would do until she could get a real plumber. Oh, the clerical life! I think this lady has suspected me of a certain doctrinal sloughing off, and now she will be sure of it. The story made your mother laugh, though, so my labors are repaid.
