The commercial below demonstrates, in a limited way, the chaos caused by becoming “unplugged” from a mere computer. In it, a new employee unwittingly unplugs a main computer, causing everything to go haywire around the globe.
Imagine how much worse things are when we unplug from God. Actually, things wouldn’t be worse, they just wouldn’t be at all! God is ipsum esse, the very act of “to be” Himself. All being depends on Him.
Scripture says of Jesus, For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together (Colossians 1:16-17).
The mere loss of a major computer can cause havoc, confusion, chaos, pandemonium, and death. As our age unplugs from God with increasing fervor, we see these things: havoc, confusion, chaos, pandemonium, and death.
Think about that as you watch this commercial.
The BEST video I have ever seen. Praise Jesus. I pray for the day when that will come. Too bad it couldn’t be a commercial on TV. Thanks for this.
This is from our city’s public school system website. I think it shows an example/result of what happens when we unplug from God. (I deleted the name of the city.)

We took our kids out of public school years ago.
Thank you Msgr. Pope for your blog. Our family enjoys reading them together and learn so much.
If only it were funny. We are on the precipice… rotten with traitors, the antichrists, we are the anesthetized and manipulated masses, where evil is made to look good and Good made to look evil. Cling to Jesus in these days of great deceptions, cling to the Truth and Love of Jesus Christ. Come Holy Spirit to open our minds and hearts that we may be filled with the saving Grace of God to give us eyes to see and ears to hear and to NOT be deceived in a world of ever increasing deceptions, when even many Shepherds of the Church are deceived. God help us!
