ge--we bring good things to light

after 2 hours on the phone today trying to track down lightbulbs for my kitchen (ge has decided to quit making them), i wound up talking to a guy right here in gwinnett at a warehouse not far my house.  well, in the midst of our conversation, abby came in prompting a "go back to your room, rest time is not over" comment from me.  at this point, he comments that i must be a stay at home mom.  why yes.  his next comment got me sassy, "that must be nice.  you don't have to do much, just cook and clean and stuff."  you can imagine the fire in my belly.  i reigned it in and replied with a mere, "you don't have children do you?"  and yes, the tone was sassy.  he didn't.  anyone surprised?  the conversation that followed shocked me though.  he said that he didn't want to bring children into a world like this.  i get that.  it's a crazy, psycho world.  i said that i would feel the same way if i didn't have hope.  

he asked me, what gave me hope.  no politically correct answer here.  

Jesus.  

what proceeded from there was quite an interesting conversation with a sales rep right around the corner from my house.  coincidence that none of the other people i called had what i needed?  i don't think so.  coincidence that i have been pondering john 16:33 lately.  nope.  and all to think this came about because they quit making my lightbulb...
