Power

We lost our power (electricity) on Sunday afternoon about 6. It was warm and inconvenient but it made me appreciate what I take so much for granted: all the conveniences we have. What conveniences you may ask? Allow me to enumerate:
Light
Air Conditioning
Cars
Ice
Crushed Ice
Water from the Fridge
Water from the tap
Toilets (one of my personal favorites, I am so glad I was born now)
Cool Food
Preserved Food
Packaged Food
Apples in December
Oranges anytime
Bananas
Computers
Garage door openers
News -immediately (whether it's true or not)
The Restored Truth
Phones
Music - the recorded variets
Cell Phones
Music in the Car
Warm Showers
Cold Showers
Carpet
Windows
Electric Razors
3-Bladed Razors
5-Bladed Razors
Toilets (did I mention those yet)
Taller toilets (for us taller people)
Toilet Paper (without which I wouldn't have a job)
Movies (Inception is a great movie)
TV (except for those lame reality shows; ALL of them)
Alarm Clocks
Ice Cream
Vegetables - Canned and Fresh at ANY time of the season we want them
Milk - the really cold kind that gives you brain freeze after you have eaten your cereal
Cereal - especially Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries, not the new one but the old one with just the red berries
Rice (the yellow kind my wife makes)
The Gospel Restored
Couches
Beds without the bedbugs and lice from years ago
Dog Food
Running Water - Indoor
Lawn Mowers
Gasoline
These are just a few of the things that I take for granted. Feel free to add to the list. Don't forget to be grateful for power both the electrical spiritual kind. There is nothing more important than spiritual power.
