Perhaps during your earliest years you learned the same prayer I did before mealtimes. Remember these words? “God is Great. God is Good, and we thank Him for His food.” Last night when I crawled into bed, I offered this same prayer with a slight modification: “God is Great, God is sweet, and we thank Him for home heat.”
At about 5pm last evening, our house lights began to flicker and within moments, every 60 watt bulb burned at about 20 watts. Jim Gardner of ABC Action News went silent as our TV went black. But worse, the furnace that heats our home shut down. On the coldest night of the year thus far, wouldn’t you know it?
