There are times in life when it feels as though all we can do is “put our heads down” and move forward. It is important, however, that we occasionally stop and look around in order to regain a wider perspective. As we do, Jesus makes sure we're standing in the right spots in order to see life the way he wants us to see it. This week we stop and look around from the pew. The pew is where we sit when we gather with our fellow Christians around the gospel. That gospel was a light that shined in the darkness when Jesus walked the earth. That gospel is still a light when it is in our mouths and ears today. We don’t have to stumble in the darkness looking for glimpses of light. The gospel shines brightly and dispels our gloom.
