I Must Confess, I Have Chased Shadows...

03-25-2014


John 8: 12 -  Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

The interesting thing about Jesus' proclamation is this; in order to follow the light you have to be facing it… turned towards it as you move closer to it.  If a person turns from the light and faces the shadow... if they chase the shadow… they will never catch it, and the darkness will eventually consume them.  But, as they face and move closer to the light, the shadows that chase them grow smaller and will never overtake them.

Live in the light today.

I'm always glad to hear from people who have taken time to read the posts here... even those who may not agree with me. I have had to make changes in the way I handle comments for this blog. They will all be subject to moderation from here on in. And as this is a personal blog and I have sole responsibility for its upkeep, it may take me a while to clear a post. I only ask 2 things from those who would leave comments.

1.) Please give your name. I have posted under mine, not anonymously or with a user name that would hide my identity. I would hope if someone was going to share an opinion, thought, criticism, or atta boy, that they would do so without fear of being identified so we can have an open dialogue.

2.) Please be respectful in the use of your language. Any cuss words, slurs, or other specifically vitriolic language will result in your comments not being posted. This is simply an attempt to keep a civil and life affirming tone for this space.

Thanks! And remember... Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss things. But small minds talk about people. Let's try to be great together.
