A Spring Thing I have always associated spring with the beginning of life. The renaissance of the new year. The resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A time when everything and everyone comes to life. Spring is a time for rejuvenation. Having said all that, this spring I want to challenge everyone to do something different.

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Most of us recognize this charge from Jesus, but have you really ever thought about it? I mean really thought about it. Light and darkness are elements that we encounter every day but rarely give either much thought. Darkness is an absence of light. Light, then, can be understood as the destroyer of darkness.

Points Accurate punctuation can sometimes be a maddening part of the writing process. It is oftentimes difficult to remember all the rules of punctuation and grammar.
