BONUS BLOG: Lost in the Darkness

[Don Saliers is a hero of mine. He was my faculty advisor at Candler (School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta) and later a mentor and even later a friend. He wrote last week’s entries in The Upper Room’s Disciplines 2020 book. It’s my joy to share several bits and pieces from there with you here —]

“I recall being lost with three companions on an unfamiliar mountain in the darkness before dawn.

“Then the dawn came and we saw where we were.

“This was but a small foretaste of the way Ephesians 5:14 ends: ‘Sleeper, awake! Arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!’

“Prayer: God of resurrection promise, grant to us a turning to your light so that we may see your way. Amen.”

— Amen?
