DID THE FLASH GO OFF?
Much like faith in a light switch doing its job, hoping to capture an image and wondering "Did the flash go off?" barely takes a moment, but it can give the illumination necessary to preserve an image for a lifetime.
It's a question I heard often at family gatherings - and one I continue to ask regarding my own flashes of brilliance: some underexposed, out of focus or perhaps not that bright after all. But every once in awhile . . . something clicks!
he's making an incomplete fool out of you
and you're only too proud to let him
any direction he wants you to turn
any distance he tempts you to travel
anywhere he misleads you you're willing to go
as the life you once had is unraveled
traded, faded, unraveled
"For everyone who does wicked things hates the light
and does not come to the light, lest his works should
be exposed." (John 3:20)
