Emphasis Preaching Journal

We forget just how dependent we have become on the electric company until there is a power failure. Then our whole life comes to a standstill. We can't cook in the microwave, we can't watch television, we can't even read in our favorite chair. Instead, we scurry around in the dark looking for the flashlight, the candles and the matches. If we step outside we see only darkness except for the occasional light that some other homeowner has found. Then we wait. We wait in our little circles of light for the power to come back on. Then when it returns we are filled with great joy.
