Did you know there's a light bulb that has been burning almost continiously since 1901 in a firehouse? It's in Livermore, Ohio and has been the subject of several researches, investigations, and documentations. It started out as a 60 watt bulb and now burns as a low (4) wattage bulb. It doesn't give out much light, but even still... 110 plus years......
(And I have a 6v high intensity night light on my night table that I put a 12v automobile bulb in...that bulb has been on continiously for the 27 years we've been living in the house. It's not a lot of light, but works just great as a night light). Obviously the trick to long life for a lightbulb is the burn it at a lower wattage than it was designed for.)

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
