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[He went for the shoot and the guy responded with the same thing, but the referee didn't stop the fight ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32266]]></link><description><![CDATA[He went for the shoot and the guy responded with the same thing, but the referee didn't stop the fight because Cliff was still active and defending himself and was well aware of everything despite the brutal punishment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33547]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the whole society loses because it would only lead to more anarchical violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will most likely find a tremendous difference in opinion from certain Ohio universities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36495]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will most likely find a tremendous difference in opinion from certain Ohio universities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I miss singing very, very much, but the best thing is I have never been busier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39321]]></link><description><![CDATA[I miss singing very, very much, but the best thing is I have never been busier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then westward ho! Grace and good disposition attend your ladyship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then westward ho! Grace and good disposition attend your ladyship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  The soul which gives itself wholly and without reserve to God is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  The soul which gives itself wholly and without reserve to God is filled with His own Peace; and inasmuch as we are prone to grow like that to which we are closely united, the closer we draw to our God, so much the stronger and more steadfast and more tranquil shall we become.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its hard to wait around for something you know might never happen; but its harder to give up when you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Its hard to wait around for something you know might never happen; but its harder to give up when you know its everything you want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see.
