This morning I was struggling to consciousness when I the voice of my mother-in-law (who lives with us) calling upstairs brought me to a state of at least being semi-awake. It seemed that there was a funny buzzing noise in her bathroom.
All four residents of our house entered said bathroom and there was indeed a funny buzzing noise, rather like several hundred angry bees trapped in a jam jar (a very big jam jar obviously). It was a puzzle. We could not local the source of the noise, though it seemed to be coming from the wall.
The previous day we’d had a minor repair done on our boiler and thought it might be something to do with a boiler component vibrating down the heating or water pipes and so we called British Gas, with whom we have maintenance and repair cover, to come back and sort it out.
An hour later we discovered the source of the mysterious noise; my daughter’s old electric toothbrush which had somehow started working on its own and was vibrating against the bathroom mirror, causing the incredibly irritating buzzing sound. With red faces we called British Gas and admitted our mistake!
Following on from a previous blog (http://reflectionsofathinkingevangelical.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/centrality-of-resurrection.html ), when it comes to the resurrection people often overlook the obvious explanation for the empty tomb, the changing of the day of worship by the Early Church from the Sabbath to Sunday and the profound change in the disciples: that Jesus was physically resurrected from the dead in a body that had solidity and continuity with the body that hung on the cross but which was also radically renewed and transformed.
