The Flood

Does the devil have power over water? In our life he does. Since leaving on our mission we have experienced several major plumbing problems mostly at our Apartment complexes. But now he is really trying to get us. Our home had a major flood. The supply pipe in the upstairs master bath broke and for aprox. 1 1/2 hours water poured out into the master bathroom, and bedroom, then down to the living room and dinning room then down to the basement and was actually pouring out of the foundation outside of the living room. Paula came to work and found it and she knew how to turn the water off to the house so she stopped it . Carrie called the carpet people and there are 7 fans ( the massively big ones) blowing air to try and dry it out. The carpet had to be ripped up and the padding removed, thank goodness Carrie knows the routine.(She manages apartments and this happens often in apartments) We tried not to worry the morning she called us but this morning Malcolm woke up and said he dreamed about the house flooding and I had dreamed about it too so we must be unconsciously worried. It's just a house, poor Carrie and her family living with 7 blowers in the house then all the construction to repair it. Hey look on the bright side, when we have to put up new ceilings we can have them done without the popcorn junk on them. Love to all & keep the devil away from your water!

Not to mention the 4 dehumidifiers and the 2 more fans they added today! But really don't worry it IS under control and it will be fine. No popcorn ceilings sounds like a good plan though!
