The Sudbrock Scoop

Break down!

This is a month of break down. Our vacuum has been needing to be replaced for months. We investigated for just the right machine and found a quality vacuum We then purchased it through German ebay for half the retail price. Our iron was dropped by a babysitter and needed to be replaced. To top it off, our 10 year old dishwasher gave up the ghost. The repair cost is half of the price of a new machine. Does it make sense to repair such an old machine? I wonder. With the high price of water in Wittenberg, you actually save money with a machine over hand washing. Please pray for wisdom. On the good side, Skyler lovingly gave his mother a coupon for washing up 10 loads of dishes. Little did he know a month ago that the dishwasher would go out just in time for mom to redeem those coupons. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8.28)

*****Update - after typing the above posting, lightening struck our house! In spite of surge protectors, our computer was surged and damaged. Only time will tell to what degree the damage may be. At this point, I know that all the USB ports must be replaced. Heads up - keep your appliances at a safe distance from the Sudbrock family.
