No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

What We're Reading Today: The Stag and the Spear (prequel to The Remnant Chronicles)

Quote: "You see, we are all actors on this stage of life, and there is a Director giving instructions. Of that we can be assured. However, unlike a play where the actors know their parts and have memorized their lines, we are called to respond to instructions and act for the first time. Our plays are rehearsed as such, and are only enacted one very unique time." --Belenos, a character in The Stag and the Spear
