John 8:12

BMV Questions
1. What does the darkness mean? Darkness represents a couple of things. It means God will help us understand what is going on in our lives, and it stands for the sin in our lives.
2. Does this mean that I won’t sin anymore? No, it just means that Jesus will guide and show us our sin so that we can repent and stay away from it.

My Shadow
by Robert L. Stevenson
I have a little shadow
that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him
is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me
from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me,
when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him
is the way he likes to grow-
Not at all like proper children,
which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller
like an India-rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little
that there’s none of him at all.
He hasn’t got a notion
of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me
in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me,
he’s a coward you can see;
I’d think shame to stick to nursie
as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early,
before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew
on every buttercup,
But my lazy little shadow,
like an errant sleepyhead,
Had stayed at home behind me
and was fast asleep in bed.
