    This is a time of profound darkness, when many things we have depended on fail. We may be among the curious crowd or the concerned companions, but we will eventually see. Who will be the next converted centurion?

    When you are suddenly plunged into darkness, that darkness is profound, and you cannot see anything.

The darkness will not be quite as dismal as you first ...read more
