XIX SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
AUGUST 10, 2014
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ
I have a little story to share today. One day in the middle of the second week of July, I stopped by the sanctuary to talk to
the Lord before heading back to the rectory after the long day. After a while, I realized that the sanctuary was so cold
(later on I found 68°F to be the exact temperature) as to distract me from my conversation with the Lord, and I was alone
in the whole church. So, I tried to raise the temperature at least for the afternoon during the week, and I found that our
A/C control computer was “literally” dead. I could not even turn on the computer. The entire A/C units around the
church and RE rooms were controlled by this “one” computer. This was an old, old computer (for those geeks, the computer was run by Pentium 4 processor with Windows XP. Parallel and serial ports are essential
to connect a computer to A/C control unit). “Where can I find a similar computer like this? This
is an old computer!” I thought. Well, Carrier suggested that we upgrade the A/C control system,
but it appeared to be quite an expensive project. Once we opened this Pandora’s box then I
knew that we might not be able to close it so easily. So, time passed by without any good solution.
On the following week, when I happened to clean up the entire closets in the rectory, I found an
old, yet very new looking computer under the hidden shelf and voila! It ran Windows XP with a
Pentium 4 processor. When I tested this computer, I couldn’t believe that it was Fr. Dick’s computer! So I gave it a try to migrate the hard disk from the old computer to Fr. Dick’s. While I was
doing it, I told Fr. Dick, “Well, you used to be pastor here, so Fr. Dick, you had better pray for
me to fix this A/C-- The parish can get many benefits out of this!” I turned on the new computer
with the old computer’s HDD, then wow! The computer accepted the HDD as if it were its own.
I can say that this computer will secure our A/C control system for at least five more years. I
went through and set each place of the church with a reasonable temperature. This will help us
to save a great financial amount! I am sure that God listened and has heard Fr. Dick’s and my prayer.
I have been talking about experiencing the kingdom of God in our daily life for the last two weeks, and I believe that this
was a little blessing from God with the help of Fr. Dick.
Life is full of surprises and every moment is indeed grace from God. All we have to do is ask God to open our eyes, ears,
heart and mind so that we may see His presence in our life.
God is truly amazing, and God loves each one of you very much!
In Christ,
