There are mean people in the world. I read an article today on the Internet about a "Reverend" that goes around spewing hatred towards homosexuals (the pictures in the article and the interview I heard with him on the radio once pretty well confirm that hatred is accurate). My kids tell me about other kids at school who say mean things. We see meanness exhibited between people so often.

I wonder why. What makes people act that way? Why do they think being mean and showing hatred to others will make things right?

In a conversation I had with my daughter on the way to school, the song that goes "...this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..." popped into my head. What happens when we are light to others? How do we feel when we are light to others? If you have ever had that feeling, would you ever want anything else? To be light, to help others see the path to God is a gift He gives us. Talk about your warm-fuzzies. Be light today. Help someone see the path to God today.
