Dear Readers,


Sometimes, as an issue comes together a certain theme

begins to form. That's what happened with this one. I was

struck by how many of the writings referred, in some way

or another, to the sun.


I suppose it's not too surprising. The sun gives us warmth

and light, so we tend to notice it. And not long ago, the sun

put on quite a show with solar flares that lead to amazing

displays of northern lights.


Something about light calls to us.


"And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."

"God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world."

And "let your light shine."


There's something about light...

                                             




(Scripture references: Genesis 1:3, 1 John 1:5, John 8:12, Matthew 5:16)
