We have just had the power come back on again...right as I was about to drift off to sleep. Typical.
It has been over 70 hours with out power which has been fun. We have lots of candles, a bbq, and friends with power and a shower (thanks Bake).
The hassles now come when we have to throw out the contents of the fridge, luckily the freezer is great, and the stuff inside is still frozen (well was yesterday morning).
I am a fan of power outages, they can give you a great reawakening of yourself. You can drop all thr crap that takes focus in life (tv/computer/light) and give you time o just enjoy the nothingness that often engulfs powerless nights.
It has been funny laying in bed here silence, seeing nohing but the sky, and having that broken often by the sounds of a chainsaw. the contrast is so markable.
Real life must go on, but I am thabkful to God for those moments where I am able to stop and gather my thoughts (and His) and begin to move forward again.
