Light in a dark world

So, the air conditioner at the parsonage we've set up shop in broke. In essence, it was old and it is french fries cooking in a vat of oil hot. It tried as hard as it could, but it finally just collapsed. It ran. It didn't cook.

We circled the wagons, put up the box fans, opened the windows, sweated gloriously like we were camping out in a South American jungle, and survived the night.

Leaves me tired, but rejoicing. So, let's do some....

Isaiah wrote, "The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine."

This morning I read that two teen family members were sought after apparently killing five of their
family members. In a town of 100,000 the story read, this happens. The family members were stabbed to death. Stabbed. To death.

Donald Trump is leading the GOP early polls. Donald Trump. Let me be clear, here. Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton is lead the Dems. Not the Donald, but not exactly Abraham Lincoln either.

My perceived list of growing darkness is a long one. The darkness sometimes seems to lead the race to eternity.

Then there is this:

In Georgia, a photo of two hugging dogs in a kill shelter went viral and the two, Kala (an eight-month-old hound mix) and Keira (a one-year-old boxer mix) were saved just hours before they were to be put to death.

In two-hours, six minutes, the posted picture received more than 16,000 likes and 9,000 plus shares and raised $3,400 for medical expenses for the pair.

As far as I'm concerned, this is light shining in a dark world.

"For a child is born to us, a son given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God. Everlasting Father. Prince of Peace."

Go light the world, friends. Take care of each other. Take care of the animals who love so dearly and clearly.

And find me some candidates...
