Brilliant brother Scott! Yes, indeed, iron is being sharpened as you prompt me to meditate upon...“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is unhealthy, your body is filled with darkness. Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness. If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light.” Luke 11:34-36 NLT
And Matthew puts it this way... "And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!" Matthew 6:23 NLT
"If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life." 2 Corinthians 5:13-14 NLT Hallelujah & Shalom! Peter
What beautiful comments and verses. The first one from Luke was unfamiliar; I had to read it twice.
"... make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness... "
We need to stop fooling ourselves that we are righteous, that everything is fine, and that we can get through life our own way.
I also want Christ's life to control me. And the Holy Spirit to guide and comfort me. I will think on this more, thank you for the insight and inspiration.

Absolutely this verse brings the light forward. We are praying for you and your family, Scott! The nation is behind you!
