Comments on: Sporadic postings this week https://www.aoiusa.org/sporadic-postings-this-week/ A Research and Educational Organization that engages the cultural issues of the day within the Orthodox Christian Tradition Tue, 02 Nov 2010 18:05:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.3 By: Fr. Johannes Jacobse https://www.aoiusa.org/sporadic-postings-this-week/#comment-14786 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 18:05:33 +0000 https://www.aoiusa.org/?p=8279#comment-14786 I wish it was that easy! The truth is I want my car to work when I get it it. I don’t understand cars. I change the oil every 3000 miles and the other stuff you are supposed to do, and I just want it to work. When it breaks down the frustration is almost unbearable.

I had a car that broke down in northern Georgia once, right on the freeway. Fortunately there was a Ford place just a few miles away (small favors again). Across the street was a car rental place. Rented a car, drove my family home to Fort Myers, waited three days for the car to get fixed, drove back up to Georgia to drop off the rental and pick up the car. Left at 5am and got home at 2am the next day. 1300 miles. What a week.

Caller: ‘I’m calling Fr. Hans from Duluth Minnisota– it’s January 14 and my hands stick to the car door, and I try and I try but it won’t start!! I’m sitting in the front seat and I’m about to give up getting to church on time!!’

Fr. Hans: ‘I was at a funeral yesterday and I cut off the fingers from some gloves I could barely swing the censer my hands froze to it! Wait now while I bless the car!’

A minute passes.

Fr. Hans: ‘Try it now!’

Caller: ‘Amazing!! Thanks Fr. H!!’

(I actually heard this on a ‘puzzler’ on a related show a-typical for the Juan Williams-less radio network. Was it divine intervention? Or just some time for the cranking heat to spread to the frozen fragistat?? Or– Both!)

Maybe the alternator is not properly charging the battery or there’s a drain in the electrical system somewhere when the car is not being operated. It’s rare to have 2 batteries in a row fail in that same manner; especially a brand new one.
