Look around. Even with the sun radiantly bright, our world is dark.

Humans can argue about raising a family, budgeting for expenses, politics, politicians, climate change, whether the change is cyclical or anthropogenic, diet, exercise, sleep deprivation, big Pharma, vaccines, green spaces, carbon footprints, and more and more and more and more.

That list barely grazes the debatable differences we have with each other. Shadows upon shadows create a darkening world.

Then we remember cancer and other diseases, the bad health suffer from our own causes and the poisoning that the modern industrial world causes. Drug abuse and depression and other psychical injuries can destroy our interest in the world, damaging us as much as disease does. And I haven’t even touched upon digital addictions.

Count all of these shadows, and our world is dark.

What gives us light? What gives us Joy?

Hope. Promise. Unconditional love. Peace. All embodied in Christ our Savior, the Light of the World.

Christ’s all-powerful light casts the darkness away.

That gives us JOY, the theme of the third week of Advent.

In this episode, we discuss the spectrum of crosses that reveal all aspects of Christ, then in the Writing Connection, we reveal the uses a writer can make of spectrum as well as how to use spectrum, with an example story discussed.
