JESUS THE MECHANIC

The lawn mower above had been abandoned for a long time.

It allegedly had major engine problems so it's owner gave it

to Fort Rock Family Camp.  I volunteer some for the camp so

I had them bring it to my shop making it easier for me to work

on.

After getting it started it had a bad problem all right, but not

too difficult to repair.  I started and run the engine several times 

while checking it out.  Then I tore into it only having to take the 

top off the engine for the repair.

  After I had the engine reassembled it was time to test it out.  

But all that would happen was the starter would spin and not

 engage - and I had not even touched the starter.

Working with engine starters is not a new thing to me.  I was

a professional auto technician for over twenty five years.  Which

means I started working on starters back when we had to take them

apart and fix them ourselves.  And being retired, they still keep 

coming into my life.

So I took the starter off to see what was wrong.  When the starter

was off of the engine it would work fine.  Put it back on the engine

and it would only "spin out".  I did this three times and could not 

do anything  to make it work.  I wasted almost a full after noon

trying to make it work, all to no avail.  By then I was in a very

"UnChristian" attitude and quit for the day.

This afternoon I went back down to the shop to work at it again.

But before even touching it I had a serious prayer meeting with

Jesus.  I reached over, turned the key and it "banged" right off.

It has been working every time since.

PRAISE GOD AND THANK YOU JESUS.
