Possibilities?
I love experimenting. Before I was a minister, I was a research scientist – research scientists are essentially children, curious and very interested in ‘possibility’
It was in that vein that I decided to build myself a solar based power system; it now sits on the roof of my workshop.
When I built it, the winter days were short and it already produced enough energy to power a few lights, my study and a TV. As spring sets the pace, there is more power available each day. This contribution is written on a ‘solar powered computer’.
We had a power failure the other day and we were the only house in Steventon with a full reserve of alternative energy. The lights stayed on – so did the heating. Anne, my lovely wife, didn’t even know that there was a power failure! I am convinced that humanity has ‘possibility’ built in – this is the God nature in all of us.
