Walking in the dark...

We lost electricity to our building today at lunch. No big deal unless you aretrying to get to the fourth floor. Lots of people were trying to decide whether to walk the stairs. Some wanted to go in spite of how dark it was; others wanted to quit and go home. Finally, one of our staffers and I inched up the stairs. We held on to the rail, stepped slowly, and kept talking to one another. Then we couldn't see the door at the fourth floor until we saw a glimmer of light around the frame. It was funny to feel like such a stranger in a stairwell that I go up and down every day of the week. And it was a little frightening.

You know where I am going with this don't you. Today was a lesson in Christianity. Stay together, remember it's easier to go through the dark when you're not alone. We really are strangers in this world. And keep focused on the light.

What other lessons did I miss?

Comments:
Well, it's best to avoid the darkness if at all possible! But, like you said, always take a buddy when you're in the dark. And be encouraged that the tiniest sliver of light can seem like a beacon in the dark.
