I can identify with this ""lack"" of air-conditioning thing. Here in
Nova Scotia our tabernacle is not air-conditioned and our camp meeting
is in July so it can get pretty warm in the ""ole"" tabernacle!!! Also,
our local church is a steel building and sometimes in the heat of the
summer we move the services to the lower auditorium where it is cooler.
But in spite of it all we have a great time in the presence of God!!!

I can remember before I gave my heart to God that heat didn't make a
difference in what I did................
