In short my plumbing now is usable. The sink war is at a conditional cease fire. The conditions are as follows:
1. The pipe leading into the facet will only drip a little.
2. I will put cleaning supplies around it so I can't see it.
3. The facet will work properly and I can live with hot running water.
The shame of improper water. The hardship of the woman at the well that Jesus treated as a perso, when the rest of the world treated her as an object. The confusing part of people is that we treat people as objects and objects as people. We disregard hurting humans for stuff. Jesus found his substance that day at the well, by treating her like a person.
Though in his humanitarian treatment of her, he wasn't afraid to tell her how it was. We cannot confuse gentleness and lying. In our treatment of others we cannot forget their greatest need. That of salvation.
So how does this relate to a sink? Well when you treat a house problem with more concern then anything else then I believe my affections are in the wrong place. Because really a slight leak is only a slight problem; does it need to be fixed yes; should control you? No so much, so the earthly problems are not so demanding when your water comes from heaven.
