choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a
light bulb? However, if in your own journey you have found that a light
bulb
works for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a
modern dance about your personal relationship to your light bulb and
present
it next month at our annual light bulb Sunday service. We explore a number
of
light bulb traditions including incandescent, flourescent, three-way,
long-life, and tinted; all of which are equally valid paths to spiritual
luminescence."

Have a happy day...Dale
