Dear Fellow Preachers,
As the Immediate Word team prepares this week's installment, a blinding sandstorm has stalled coalition forces on their way to Baghdad. The contrasts could not be more timely -- we have moved from dazzling displays of firepower, the so-called "shock and awe" bombing campaign, to the near darkness of the blowing storm.
Team member Carlos Wilton finds in the lectionary text from John 3 important images that help us reflect on the images of light and dark in a time of war.
