Summer Breeze Pool and Spa Services :: A New Phoenix Business
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
There’s another pool business in the Phoenix area, and its name is Summer Breeze, owned and operated by a young man named Billy Whitmore. It’s another pool business that offers a full range of services for your pool or spas. This includes specialization in repair, in-floor cleaning systems, salt systems, filter cleaning, acid washes and the like. It’s a new company in the Phoenix area and I’d highly recommend it. He has the experience and is highly dependable, but that is not why I am recommending it. I’m recommending it because of this next. Sometime, it’s the story behind the facts that is important.
Billy is a guy I met at North Phoenix Vineyard Church and he organizes a group of guys that get together to watch the UFC fights. I know what some of you are thinking — Christians that watch the UFC? Yeah, that is what I initially thought. But this isn’t about our legalistic opinions.
I saw this young guy as a standout person. Newly married, in his early 20s, good job, he seemed to be starting out in his life journey with his head on straight. So many his age are in pursuit of things based in such shallowness and are experiencing the painful results. A couple of months ago at one of the fight nights, Billy shared that he had “lost” his job. Anyone that has received that news knows how shocking and stressful that is.
He talked a bit about how he really, at that time, did not know what he was going to do. He was putting it out there and trusting God. As we all were listening and offering what support we could, I wondered what had happened. He said he had “lost” the job. I was thinking, what did he do? He seemed like such a good guy, and I was surprised that someone would fire him.
That night we did find that what he had done did indeed cost him his job.
Billy was working for a company that installed and serviced custom pools here in the Valley. His job was to insure that the security fencing/blocks around the pool that would help prevent accidents (ie. children and pet drownings) from occurring. On this particular day he lost his job, his boss suggested that he sign off that an inspection had been completed on the safety walls and was passed. Billy was shocked. He respectfully said he couldn’t so that. He was told that if he didn’t sign off, they didn’t have any use for him in that position.
Billy left that day, now unemployed.
Fast forward a couple months later, Billy has stepped out starting a business of his own, Summer Breeze Pool and Spa Services. I wish him the best of luck. And while he knows the business well, I am recommending this new Phoenix pool business more because I know about the owner. And from what I know, your pool will be in good hands. You can trust that!

Good for Billy! Once a person abandons their ethics and values system, they seldom return to practices that are values based. I’ll pass Billy’s name along to a couple friends of mine in Phoenix.

With his work ethic and moral values, I doubt he’ll be out of a job any time soon. Good for him!

What is your legalistic opinion of Christians who watch UFC? I hardly ever miss a fight!!! It’s actually the only sport that doesn’t bore me to death.
If we ever make it to Las Vegas, it will be to watch a UFC fight live.

Oh Lisa —
your question: What is your legalistic opinion of Christians who watch UFC? — It’s not my opinion.
**I** watch it too! This has to do with the debate in Christian circles of various things being un-christian like. There are plenty out there that find something like the UFC not wholesome so they would avoid it. It is a form of legalism and this is one of the current issues I am dealing with. I am now finding that doing like Christ, or having a Christ like life is really nothing like most believe it. It’s not that they are wrong, it is just that they (we) have had an incomplete truth. Living and life in a legalistic approach is based on performance and that completely negates grace. As I continue to sort this out, I will write about it.
Hey, and the pic of your mountain top church, THAT is cool!!

Oooooo I can’t wait to read that blog! That could touch some nerves, but I think along those same lines.
