Here are some images from late last year out at the Roans farm. Pete and I (stigandr.com) spent some time clicking while the shearing went on around us. The third one is an image of a curtain at the church I work for. Light makes an impression wherever it is just like God has an impact on whoever see’s what His light is about.

2:1 As John resumes his discourse on sin and forgiveness, we see a striking change of mood. Whereas earlier he was focusing on his opponents and their false teaching, now he speaks about these things as they affect his followers. The note of endearment–”my dear children”–in no way minimizes the seriousness of the discussion. John hastens to add, “I write this to you so that you will not sin.” There is no question at all in his mind that sin and obedience to God are irreconcilable. Sin is the enemy.
