"You are the light of the world..." Matt 5:14

This is our duty as Saints of the Most High. Yet, some days it is really hard to shine, isn't it? As soldiers in this spiritual battle, it is our mission to glorify the King of Kings with our lives. As tenants in the world, we fall prey to its seduction, dimming our light. It is for this reason that this blog was started. In the military, after action reports are used to review the activities of specific events. This retrospection forces analysis of these activities in light of the outcome. Likewise, willing soldiers of Christ are invited to briefly review their daily lives, and note where God is working, recognize where they have fallen short, and prepare for the next battle. The hope is to not only provide accountability for our daily actions, but to also recognize where God is working and the part he wants us to play in His mission.

Made in God's image

Tonight as I watch my son make another very creative picture, I am marvelling at how God put a piece of himself in us mere humans.  We are made in His image.  Today in Sunday School we learned that only God can truly "create", make something out of nothing.  But we can make some very creative things.  God created us.  As we are flawed creatures, it amazes me how His image can shine through us.  Some are shinier in other areas.  Some may shine more mercy, others may shine more authority.  What is cool is that each of us, though imperfect, reflect different aspects of the Father, and collectively gives us a glimpse of the image were modeled after.  As my son sits here working on the next Lego masterpiece, I marvel at one of God's 6 yr old masterpieces as he selects the next brick.
