Yay for Internet at home again. At least until tomorrow.

Query: Take a look at the "Lamp on a Stand" analogy in Luke 8. I've always assumed the lamp represented your faith. But then when you read carefully the two following verses, faith doesn't necessarily seem to fit the puzzle. Wealth almost seems a better fit to me... almost. Here's the whole passage:

"No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."

As for the "there is nothing hidden," why say that about faith? Now wealth doesn't seem to be a good fit either. And the "whoever has" doesn't seem to fit faith either. Maybe talents/gifts?

T minus three/four days left until packing must be finished. Why do you always have more crap than it seems like? It all has to fit into tight spaces... Freaking hangers take so much space. I filled almost a third of a box with them.
