moving from darkness into light and why


Moving from Darkness into Light
*
Reading this week on a trip left me mostly with one book. My time is short. I have had a convention and then some important family needs this week.
This time it has been tempting to use the blog to just give a summary of events. (Our son was burned on his back and I am caring for him in Austin as I write this. Some who read this will already know. Those that don't we will welcome your prayers. He is doing well.)
My book was more of a comfort on the trip to
Dallas than since. Even so just as I each day, for a while, I have used the blog to go into a different part of my own thoughts and have enjoyed that as a way to make the days broader it has it's use today also.
I could not begin to even consider the subject of "light'. It is what allows God into all things or maybe it is why he is in all things. The book "Literature of Belief" looks at all religions and suggests that all of Gods actions in the world are designed to move from darkness into light.

Maybe our acts need to be motivated by light if they are to be of worth . If so this seems to follow:
*
"So long as man acts solely on the basis of immediate consequences,
there is not much possibility of his producing deeds that will be
consequentail in the long run".
