a light in the darkness

I want to echo the words Jim shared about the candle light vigil held in honor of the body of the young girl found in a trash bin last week in St.Marys (presumably murdered). Growing up in St.Marys/Kingsland, I remember the Pines apts and it was a rough area then. Guess it's only gotten worse.

This gathering seems like such a display of grace in the midst of such horror. It shows a beautiful coming together of people from differing backgrounds. As the gathering emphasized, "the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it." Just as Jesus is the light of the world, so must the body of Christ shine that light deep in the darkness. Jim, Frank, and others, I commend you on how you responded to such tragedy and darkness by shining the light of God's love into that community.
