David Bronnert, who was quoted in CQOD at the beginning of the month, has kindly sent me the following meditation taken from the church magazine of St. John's Church, Southall, in London, where he serves as vicar, living out, under God, the previous quotation he wrote thirty years ago. I am grateful to brother David for sending me this timely teaching so that I could present it to you. The light shines in the darkness   Candles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle!   Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks -- like this magazine! -- disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out.   But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame.   The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible.   The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It is isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After doing this, going away, trying other things and working on other shows, this character, and working within Days of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42229]]></link><description><![CDATA[After doing this, going away, trying other things and working on other shows, this character, and working within Days of Our Lives, has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my career.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can provide any number of medical [or] social work interventions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39427]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can provide any number of medical [or] social work interventions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Methinks a father Is at the nuptial of his son a guest  That best becomes the table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Methinks a father Is at the nuptial of his son a guest  That best becomes the table.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with a budget is that it's hard to fill up one hole without digging another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4966]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with a budget is that it's hard to fill up one hole without digging another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not what we get.
