I am going to be thinking a lot this week about light and not just because I am hoping that the sun will come out and warm things up a bit (although that would be nice). This week, we are continuing our series on the different parts of what it means to grow in Christ with this week's focus being on the light / sun. For plants to grow, sun is necessary. While water helps the roots grow in the soil, the sun helps the plant to grow up and out (yes this is a gross oversimplification - I know that sun helps the roots and water helps the above-ground growth, but go with me here... ). The sun also helps in the photosynthesis process in helping the plant take in carbon dioxide and to convert it to oxygen. I'll probably post more about this later in the week, but I got thinking today about light shining in the darkness and how things that we hold in the dark often cannot stay there because light will shine in.
