Just as I began my Christmas Eve service, the electricity in the church failed. The ushers and I found some candles and placed them around the sanctuary. Then I reentered the pulpit, shuffled my notes, and muttered, "Now, where was I?" A tired voice called out, "Right near the end!" 就在我开始平安夜祷告时，教堂停电了。 教堂里的接待人员和我找到一些蜡烛，把它们放在礼堂周围。 然后我重返讲道坛，整理了一下笔记后，我说：“刚才我讲到哪儿了？” 传来一阵不耐烦的声音：“马上就讲完了！”
