It seems the trouble was on the outside of the building. As everyone knows, that is the responsibility of the electric company. The problem turned out to be of the varmint kind. A nut-challenged squirrel had eaten through one of the major electric lines on the outside of the building thus cutting off all electricity from going inside the building. “Here's your problem, Rev,” the repairman said with a big grin smeared on his face. With that, he held up a nicely fried squirrel. With the electric back on and at my computer purring like a kitten, I thought of a verse of Scripture. ''And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.'' (Romans 8:28 KJV). Sometimes little things can frustrate us. But no person is defined by any one day or one incident. These little problems are usually temporary and serve only as a reminder that we are not in charge of anything at all.
