How study slips into our sleep…making little homilies while we dream!

Had a dream last night about St John’s three L’s: Light, Life and Love. I had been reading his gospel before i went to bed, so made sense. But in the dream, i saw each illuminated. Light meant understanding, Life meant the power to live well, and Love was the atmosphere of God. I love it when dreams interpret what we read during the day.

So, this morning, i tried to combine that with Jesus’ calling himself the way, the truth and life. The way to live, the truth about what life is, and the power to live that out. Some people or cultures would be drawn more to the way part, or the truth part, or the life part, depending on their personalities. I think that will turn out to be today’s little homily! Although, there are lots of L’s in it. Perhaps i should preach to baptists-they like alliteration!
