FURNACE OUT

Two weeks ago today, our furnace quit on us, and, we have been using a kerosene heater and the oven on the cookstove to heat our home. Only problem is, we are all getting sick from this. I have had headaches, but, Dee is suffering from sore throat, hard to breathe and sick to stomach. Kathy [my wife] is asthmatic and it doesn't help her, either. Luci is recovering from a stroke and is having headaches, she is afraid it is another stroke coming on as that is how the last one started. They can't seem to find the cause of it not running, and it still won't heat this house.
Please pray that something will be done soon.
Thanks.

Heavenly Father,
So many times You have helped me with mechanical stuff, especially with my computers. You have all the answers to our mechanical needs. And we all watched in real time Your holy angels fixing all the computers in the whole world as 1999 ended and 2000 began. Truly Your angels are holding hands, belting this world, keeping the armies of satan at bay.
Lord, You know all about Gerry's furnace. You want them to be in health; but the enemy is attacking right now in Gerry's house. Rebuke him, Lord, and please send one of Your precious angels to fix it and keep it running.
And we give You all the praise and glory for this, in Jesus' name, amen

Dear Heavenly Father, Please help in this case by working out the best possible arrangement for Gerry and his family. If it is your will, bring Spring on--quickly, please, so we don't have to rely on furnaces so much. In Jesus' Name, Amen ------------------
Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. Rom. 12:12 NLT

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you will take care of Gerry's need of warmth in their home by helping them find the reason for their furnace problem. In Christ's name I pray, Amen! __________________________

Gerry stop reading this & go to a neighbour's house pick up the phone & call your local hospital and get your whole family in an emergency shelter you are all displaying classic symptoms of carbon monoxide and kerosene fumes poisoning. The longer you all stay where you are at, the closer to death you will get. Go to Walmart & get a carbon-monoxide alarm & put it in your house. Call the fire department and get them or whoever they refer you to, to come and check out the air quality in the house. Every year families die because of this in the winter. Don't risk becoming a mortality satistic - get out of there now. I was a credentialled Respritory Therapty Technician, It was part of my job to spot symptoms of inhaled poisons. Carbon monoxide sticks to the red blood cells 250 times better than oxygen. In ER's it was no fun to see rosey cheeked corpses, dead from carbon monoxide poisoning. People who survive it do get damaged by it, sometimes for life. ------------------

The furnace is up and running, for now. The kerosene heater is shut down and the oven is turned off. We have ideas of what to do next time it happens thanks to Linda and several others. i thank you fro your prayers, they helped a great deal. We have been informed that the furnace we have is a known troublemaker, and that we should try to replace it this summer (spring actually).
Evidently MichCon has a program of loans to help low income homes obtain a new furnace. We plan to use it.

That's what I thought Ed. But I didn't feel qualified to say anything. Maybe I won't be so quiet next time. I was hoping the baby wasn't in the house. I think you all should still go get checked out Gerry. I'm concerned and praying for your health and that of your family. Wendy

No, we would never allow the baby in the house with the trouble we had. We are all right, all the symptoms cleared up within a matter of hours after the furnace was turned back on. Ed:
I won't use the oven again, your great bride told me a better way, and I will use it if need be. I am still a little tired, but, that is normal with the little problem I have.
I have to see the doctor in a couple days and will tell her about the last 2 weeks.
Thank you all again,
Gerry
