How did it get to be February already! Things have been so busy lately that I'm not sure what happened to the groundhog! Shadow or no shadow?? Let me know. Speaking of shadows........
it is said we all have a "shadow side". That hidden side of ourselves that we often are reluctant to show (an perhaps at times with good reason!!). However, I think it is just this side of us that Jesus asks us not to hide......not to place under a bushel basket but rather let it come into the light for others to see. After all, it is a part of us for better or worse - a part of who we are - a part of God's special and unique creation known as "me". So bring it forth, acknowledge it, make friends with it and bring it into the light so that we may serve God in the fullness of who we were created to be!
