Unknown Power

Just got back from a pastoral staff retreat where we were sharing one bathroom. I finished brushing my teeth this morning and Pastor John came in to brush his. He looks at my toothbrush and asks, how I like it? I looked at his and saw that it looked like the same exact one.

Me: “It’s the same as yours.”
PJ: “Except yours is electric.”
Me: “What? What are you talking about?”
PJ: “Are you serious?”
Me: “What?”
PJ: [Pointing to the plus sign on my toothbrush] “Look.”
Me: [Pressing the plus sign and feeling the vibration on my 2 month old toothbrush for the first time] “Oh my gosh! I had NO idea!”
PJ: “No way!”

Wow. I’ve always wanted an electric toothbrushes and even considered buying one at one time. But, to find out that I didn’t have a regular toothbrush but a battery-powered electric toothbrush all this time and never even saw the stupid plus sign button on my toothbrush? Crazy! What a waste! I seriously brushed my teeth again, right then and there … and I was EXCITED to brush my teeth tonight! It’s awesome.

Anyway, reminds me of a boring, regular, static Christian who has the living power of the Holy Spirit in them, but have never activated it in their lives for whatever reason. Turn it on!
