A few weeks ago the power went out suddenly and inexplicably in Spain and Portugal. There is a Netflix series in which that happens. It is called "Zero Day" and it is very good.
Anyway, Zero Day is a show. The loss of power happened for real in Spain and Portugal. Imagine... no traffic lights, you cannot charge your phone, there are no lights in stores, only cash is accepted as point of sale machines are down, and atm's are not operational. No air conditioning, no c-pap, no elevators, no TV, no radio, oh my, what will we do?
It was quite a culture shock to the folks who experienced it. We have all so grown accustomed to the creature comforts of our modern life. How would we respond to that? Talk about the world not aligning itself to make us happy.
I guess the moral of this story is to take nothing for granted. Modern life has given us so many creature comforts. We should appreciate them. So many others in remote parts of the world do not have what we see as commonplace.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
