It has almost been a week since the power went out in Toronto and we are still suffering with less than capacity power resources. All of Ontario has been asked to conserve, conserve, conserve, otherwise the rolling blackouts might return.
So, with the possibility of more blackouts on the horizon let's look at the topic of our late-summer 2003 Edition of the Heavenly Top Ten, which is:
Top Ten Things You Don't Want
to Find Out In a Blackout
- That your toothpaste and Preparation H containers are virtually indistinguishable!
- That you dropped your wallet somewhere on the way to the store to buy a flashlight!
- That your dog, with a weak bladder, finds total darkness stressful!
- That none of the parents can pick up their kids from your son's interrupted birthday party!
- That your denture soaking glass was right next to your glass of water!
- That your kids are away at camp with all your flashlights!
- That you just sold that generator you foolishly bought during the millenium craze!
- That the voices you thought were coming from your neighbour's tv are really in your head!
- That your neighbour's emergency plan includes a chainsaw and a can of gas!
- And the number one thing you
don't want to find out in a blackout is: - That you are experiencing a spiritual blackout as well!
The Heavenly Top Ten is intended to be a fun look at
issues of faith and fellowship. It should not be considered a serious treatment
of
any of the topics presented.
