Last night I was cooking up some pork chops on the grill and found my grill light wasn't working. I love that light. It has a flexible neck so I can aim it right on the meat and has magnetic feet so it doesn't slide or move around. So while the chops were cooking, I took the light apart. One of the batteries in the cartridge that holds 3 batteries corroded and the whole thing was a mess. I took it inside and pulled it all apart and cleaned it up. Put new batteries in and fired it up: nothing. So I took it all apart again and wiped everything off, made sure the batteries were aimed in the right direction and tried again. Nothing. As I was taking it apart for the third time, I dropped the cartridge. The batteries went everywhere and little connector pieces came off the cartridge. I thought I would never get it back together but I got all of the pieces and fitted them back in and voila; the light came right on! As soon as it lit up, I had an illumination myself. Looking at my situation now, all I can see is a bunch of separate pieces that used to fit together nicely. I cannot see how it will all come together and how life will come around to "work" again. Seems like no way that can happen. But of course it can and will and I believe that. I just had to smile and thank God for that little life lesson. It will work out and be as good or better than ever!
By the way, the pork chops were fantastic!
