IN THE DARK

                                                                
                                                                          IN THE DARK
                                                         
                               We enjoyed a recent article
                               in Guideposts magazine about
                               a mother and her six-year old son.
                               It had been a tiring day and finally
                               in desperation, the mother said,
                              
                               "I am going to blow a fuse if I don't 
                               get your full cooperation."

                               "Don't blow a fuse, said her young 
                               son, "or you'll put out the lights."

                               Talk about power shortages! Every time
                               we overload our communicative and 
                               psychological systems, we seem to find
                               ourselves eating a cold supper in the dark.

                               Fortunately, the Holy Spirit continually presses
                               our reset buttons and keeps the need scrupulous
                                  needed power flowing into our souls.

                                   (This article was written in 1977. And after all these
                                    years, I still to manage to blow a fuse, which I truly regret.)
