Load Sharing

Wow!

What a hot topic – load shedding.

It’s something that affects us all here in South Africa as power outages have become part of life for us, sometimes at the most inconvenient times.

The way I see, we have two choices:

1. Bury our heads in the sand and hope it goes away

Or

2. Deal with it constructively.

At church on Sunday, we took time to talk about it during the service and ended up with asking what Jesus would say about it.

Bottom line: I believe that Jesus would want it to be fair and with a sense of justice. Thus we all need to informed (even those who can’t read) when it will happen and the shedding needs to be consistent for everyone. Being informed and the shedding done with justice and consistency, I believe, will help us all to be more tolerant until the situation is improved.

And when shedding is done in this way, then we may refer to it as load sharing as we are in this together for each other.
