    Can we be light or simply reflect The Light? No matter the answer, the Source is clear. And though I love solar energy…the conversion of Radiant Light from the Source is the most powerful thing ever.

    Amen, Mitch. Thank you for being a light, too. Sometimes the darkness is overwhelming ~but with a connection to my true source I’ll try to keep shining.

    As we reflect, we see that most days have been filled with light. A young Eucalyptus tree growing on a volcano, light penetrating the clouds as we walk on a mountain, sunsets and moon-risings. The more we study the Atonement of Jesus Christ, the brighter we see our past, present and future. Like life, while walking on the beach, our bare feet leave depressions in the infinite and perfect grains of soft coral sand. When we turn back we see the waves rush in and back out, our footprints gone, the sand even more refined and smooth. As we walk intentionally through life with Him, baring our souls amidst his righteous waves, He refines us even in the process and presence of his beautiful creations.
