D is for Darkness


Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Love, that's what it all comes down to, right?

    Mr.King is so wise and every time I hear a quote from him I just know that he was touched by God for a purpose.

    This reminds me of the scripture in the Bible in John 8:12(KJV) "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but will have light of life."

    Truly!
    ...and the gift of darkness (although we may have a hard time with this) is the light that we appreciate all the more.

    Thank you Miss Ames. I'm trying to decipher A-T and it's giving me a headache so I think I'm just going to go watch cartoons with Miss Mo! I just put up a picture of my tattoo dresser progress...which isn't much! ha!

    Reminds me of the song that my hubby has been singing these few days, Chris Tomlin's "God of This City", with the second verse:

    You're the Light in this darkness
    You're the Hope to the hopeless
    You're the Peace to the restless
    You are

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
