I had been a youth pastor in our church for two years now and dealing with young people even in the church was not an easy task.
You would think that all Christians ask themselves what Jesus would do before they made decisions but it was not the case especially where young adults were concerned.
Being a youth pastor came with certain responsibilities in the church other than guiding young adults and one of them for this particular week was to oversee the installation of the new heating equipment. The church was transitioning from a central heater to a dual fuel system. The central heating had served the church well but the transition was necessary, as much as we kept up with the HVAC service plan the system had outlived its lifespan. The heating technician arrived at the agreed time and got to work. He also installed a wireless thermostat to replace the dial thermostat. We had initially thought of having an electric furnace to help with indoor comfort but the hybrid system proved to be better. Afterward, I contacted the same heating dealership to have an HVAC repairman come and fix one of the units of the ductless HVAC in my house as well as to conduct heating maintenance on the whole home heating system. Our first baby was on the way and we wanted everything to be in perfect condition when she was finally here. I was very excited to be a father for the first time but still a little scared. I could be dealing with young people all the time but somehow I knew being a parent would be different.
