...a lost soul rarely sees God in our crafted lives, the â??Iâ??m-not-a-sinner-anymoreâ? masks we hide behind because we think weâ??re supposed to be â??betterâ? now that weâ??re saved...itâ??s in the broken pieces of the real us that lost souls see Godâ??s reflection, giving them hope they too can be received while they're still broken...

The keeper of the light, officially, that cold January night in 1856 was Samuel Burgess. But lighthouse keepers in the early days of the American republic often held two jobs, and Keeper Burgess found it necessary to chase lobsters to feed his family. This meant the keeper of the light, in fact, that cold January night was 17-year-old Abbie Burgess, the keeper's oldest daughter.

Ummm, that would be me, as I was about to learn.
Every fall for as long as the old-timers could remember, the construction industry in our tiny New England state practiced the ritual of the mass layoff. As cold weather moved in, and work outside became more difficult, the ranks of the employed dwindled and the ranks of unemployed swelled. Winter is a hard time to be without income: Winds howl and swirl, working their way into the cracks of homes, forcing heating bills up and squeezing grocery budgets out.

My inbox is always packed with emails from Christians hoping I'll scold people who've offended our faith; or who as public Christians have failed to live up to the words of Christ.
