Getting punched right to the gut for trying to do the right thing is a fairly common theme in my life. This is a sad but true fact that I just hate. Seems like a man ought to get some reward for making the effort to do what is best for his family. Being on this planet just seems to get more and more complicated for me. It’s seems like I need to better understand some of my decisions and perhaps review them from a different perspective. What just happened to our HVAC is a great example. I do my utmost to save money on our budget so I can splurge on special things for my family. So, when the HVAC furnace shut off not too long ago, my instinct was to see if I could fix it without the expense of an HVAC service call. Even as this was happening, my brain was screaming at me to call the professionals. But, I pushed on because I just wanted to see if it was a simple fix. I inspected the furnace for several minutes when I did come across something that seemed simple to repair. There was a burnt out switch that was easy to access so, I took it out and bought a replacement. To my elation, the furnace cranked right back up. Seemingly, it was running fine and continued to do so for the next week. Then the furnace literally cooked itself. Due to the faulty replacement part, the furnace is ruined. And the warranty is now void because of my repair attempt.
