[Note from Pastor Maylan: I experienced an area-wide internet outage mid-week, which put me behind in posting blogs. Though Russell Jurgensen’s blog is normally on Thursday, I’m going to use his blog for this weekend. Thanks to all our bloggers who so faithfully submit their material each week! And our internet popped back up Friday afternoon!]
RUSSELL WRITES: On a late evening hike, we saw this mysterious bright cloud in the distance toward the Olympic mountains. The only thing we can figure is the light from Seattle was in the right place to light up the cloud bank. The bright star overhead is Jupiter. The lights on the ground are near Renton, and the black lines are power lines.
The Bible provides light and here is a passage I like.
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
1 John 5:13,14
The world can be pretty rough and dark, but when people follow the law of love, they can reflect the light of God to others.
