The way of the wicked is like deep darkness. As I write this, I am sitting in near total darkness. Hurricane Fran passed through last night, and the power has been off since. As night falls, no moon takes the sun's place. Working by candlelight only heats up my hot, muggy apartment.
Sleep becomes problematic, because no breeze moves the sultry air.
But I know that its best to stay in bed. Walking around in the dark threatens my toes. Some people live that way from a spiritual perspective. They choose to remain in darkness. Perhaps one problem is that we Christians prefer to criticize the dark rather than reflect the light.
