One candle flickers in the cold dark waits for the light of the second candle. This is the season of preparation. These are the middle times between the promise and its fulfillment. I will not get there by having by doing, or by getting– only by rest and reflection. I know I have been saved from myself. I know there is hope for the future. But I don’t know what I have right now.
