in the beginning...

I've always been fascinated with the Bible's frequent use of the metaphor of the difference between darkness and light. There are so many beautiful verses contrasting the shame and filthiness of the dark with the joy and freedom of the light. I guess you could say the title of this blog stems from that idea. One day, while I was reading my Bible, I came across Acts 26:17-18. It says, “… I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light ...” What a challenge! Our God has sent us to this world to turn people from darkness to light. What I'm hoping is that maybe this blog can be a candle to shed a little light on the darkness of this world.
