I was going to try and strain a connection between the light and today's Gospel reading about living water, but it felt entirely too forced. I had another rough comparison between looking forward to pulling out the lights and looking forward to Easter. For that matter, I almost grasped at a tenuous analogy between God and the sun. At least for the moment, I think that we're all better off without those meager attempts.
Instead, I'll just say that today was a day about hope springing forth and bringing change into our lives.
