Pray without ceasing.
That's an apt description of many of us. We save our religion for a rainy day. We go about
unplugged and wonder why our lives are so devoid of power. Christian faith is about being always
plugged in to Jesus Christ.
(1 Thessalonians 5:17
NRSV)
Remember Gracie Allen, who played the scatterbrained wife in a comedy team with her husband
George Burns? Once, Gracie called in a repairman to fix her electric clock. The repairman fiddled
with it for a while and then said, "There's nothing wrong with the clock; you didn't have it
plugged in." Gracie replied, "I don't want to waste electricity, so I only plug it in when I want to
know what time it is."
Dear God, empower me to not be afraid of being known as a Christian. Amen.
