Holiday Lights!

     Oh yes, my friends!  I am indeed on a Holiday kick!  My street has lights on about 75% of the houses and boy is it fun!  Some neighbors have done something simple.  Some have gone more elaborate.  I felt a tad sneaky as I walked up and down the street taking pictures.  (Um, for those of you who understand the "situation".... Yes.  My computer took the walk with me.)  The house featured in the bottom photo was the best.  I felt a little worried when the lady came out and asked me what I was doing...
Gulp!
     But in true neighborhood fashion, she was encouraging.  She asked if I was going to put the pictures online, and then told me to come back tomorrow because the BEST lights of the street just clicked off a few minutes earlier.  Could I come back tomorrow to photograph those too?  
     Wow!  I'm not so sure I would be so hospitable were I to see a random woman photographing houses in the dark...  But then again, I'm a single, white, female and there are necessary safety precautions to take these days when one spies a stranger in black roaming the street...  I digress...  
     But aren't the lights amazing?!  
     Even more amazing is our Savior, Jesus, the Light of the world...
