Of Dead Sockets and Live Wires




So, after two and a half weeks without the internet, so few blogs, tweets, or emails ... today another engineer arrived and we were full of hope.

Three and a half hours, two cups of tea and some Christmas cookies later, he left, and yes, we are back on line.

All those consolations I was trying to find for being unable to connect to the world can now be forgotten as I plunge back into the world of cyberspace.

And all it took was moving the plug in the exchange from a dead socket to a live one.

The lesson there is pretty clear. If you’re plugged into a dead socket – dead superstitions, atheism, religiosity, whatever, and find Christmas a glittering sham of materialistic frenzy – try unplugging from those old habitual thoughts and plugging into the live wires of Christianity.

The thing about Christianity is that it’s more than a theory or a dogmatic list of do’s and don’t’s. It’s a relationship with the source of life itself, through the live wire of Jesus, whose birthday we are about to celebrate.

Merry Christmas!
