July13,2009 Where were you when the lights went out

Bible Verse of the Day:

Luke 23:44-45 (New American Standard Bible)
44It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until [b]the ninth hour,
45because the sun was obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

Random Thoughts:Today in history, July 13, 1977 was the night the lights went out in New York City. (Makes me think of the song,"The night the lights went out in Chicago(oops. Georgia)") The power grid was so heavy it blew out most all of the city. It is recorded that 9 months later was one of the worst ever baby booms in NYC. Fact or Fiction??? Maybe my trivia baby can check it out for me.

I wonder what it would be like to be in total darkness. No sun, no moon, no electricity, not flashlights, no candles.....D-A-R-K. I also wonder when it became dark the day Jesus was crucified if all the high priest and rulers and people that conspired to release Barabbas felt a chilling eeriness go down their spine knowing that they had boo-booed big time. Hide, you say? Well, it was dark anyway. They didn't have to hide.

What about us. If we boo-boo big time, we live in a lighted world. Where do we hide. Where will God not find us? Oops! We did it now. There is no where to hid from God.

We live with the "Light of the World" in us if we are saved. There is no darkness. We simply must ask God to wash away our sins, again, and keep letting the Light shine in us and through us.

Light makes us warm and dark makes us cold. Take that statement and define it in more ways than one. Things to ponder today.

If you are from Jonesboro, back last winter the big question was"How long were you without power?" That was when the big ice storm hit. If you are a Christian is it safe to ask if you have Power?

Letting my little light shine,
