Candle Light

This morning 10 minutes after I got out of bed the power went out. I found the flashlight and then went around the house collecting the candles so I would have enough light to get ready for work. I have found that it works best to get a few candles and sit them up near the mirror in the bathroom and I can do a pretty good job of getting my makeup on without looking like Bozo the Clown when I am done.

I do have a couple of flashlights, they have more ‘candle’ power but because it is focused they are not as practical for lighting up a larger area such as the whole room. I took one candle this morning and carried it upstairs and was able to see well enough to walk around and not stub a toe. But when it came time to write in my journal and read the bible I needed the power of the flashlight to be able to see all the detail.

Light is an amazing thing. One single candle lights up a whole room. Yet you can focus that light to the point that is cuts through tungsten steel (laser cutting) or repair a human eye. We can have many interest but we are the most powerful when we focus our energy.
