When I was a child, I feared the darkness, and if I’m honest about it, darkness still frightens me. When I was a child, my eyes played tricks on me in the darkness- creating monsters in the shadows. But now, it’s not the physical darkness that haunts me.

It’s the darkness within that scares me.  It is the darkness of human hearts that raises the hair on the back of my neck.  The violence, the greed, the carelessness, the cruelty, the hatefulness – this destructiveness is terrifying!  The hardheartedness – the ignorance, and the arrogance makes me shudder. But, then I remember Jesus.  I recall the goodness of God. I remember that when the Son rises darkness flees! 

I remember the living hope that I have in the Resurrection! 

As dark as things may appear, I remain hopeful – it’s a brand new day!

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27:1

Good Morning, I love you all!
