I am asking myself now the question, “What am I powered by?”

Power Lines

On my computer it says “powered by Ask” and yesterday walking on the mainstreet here in Kaitaia, I saw two cars which had stickers starting with “Powered by …”

“Powered By MediaWiki,” I read yesterday in the evening on the screen of my computer.

Not too many days ago I received two emails telling me about the death of people. One email was from Germany and it said that a servant of the Lord I knew had gone home.  Thinking about “had gone home” made me look up what I read some time ago in the book GOOD IN EVERYTHING by H. L. Gee. On page 198 he is quoting the Rev. William J. May, who said, “In a quiet churchyard in Sussex is a simple grave which bears this lovely inscription: Gone home with a friend.”

Do you know what I am actually powered by?

I AM POWERED BY THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I AM ON MY WAY HOME.

And what a power that is!

The knowledge that I am on my way home gets me through everything, really everything.

I rejoice with the hymnwriter who gave us the hymn: “Going home, going home, I’m just going home.” (William A. Fisher ed. Lindsay Smith)

“The WATCHTOWER” is the magazine of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and I am amazed at the printing each issue. This is what I find in Vol 136, No 7:
