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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always a moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in. -Graham Green. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45504]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always a moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in. -Graham Green.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gave His body to that pleasant country's earth, And his pure soul unto his captain Christ, Under whose colours he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gave His body to that pleasant country's earth, And his pure soul unto his captain Christ, Under whose colours he had fought so long. -King Richard II.

DC Studios was finally deducting Federal Taxes, another step we looked forward to during this acquisition. This happened twice in November, yet no new contracts had been drawn which justified any Dallas member as an actual employee of DC Studios. We questioned this matter, and in December, our first check came in and it was back to the old figures, where no taxes were being taken out. So where did our Federal Tax money go, not to mention the withholdings for Health Insurance, which we found out was canceled due to non-payment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure is impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure is impossible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5959]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had to get that (championship).
