These days it seems like the World is trying everything it can to hide beacons of Light. I recently pulled my book, Winds of Chaos out of the Narratess Indie sale due to the way they have a search feature for LGBTQ+ but flatly refused to consider (even in future promos) adding a traditional values search - all in the name of Diversity! I’m sorry, that’s out right discrimination - against traditional values. You can’t do one and not the other and still be diverse. They highlight the liberal, but make it hard to find the traditional. They seek to hide the Light.
But the Light cannot be hidden.
Even a full eclipse shows the corona of the Light it would block. Clouds may dim the brightness, but never completely hide it, no matter how bad the storm. In the darkest night you will find a shining star, if you look for it.
As a writer of SciFi and Fantasy that seeks to shine a little light, I must stay close to the source, if I’m to stay strong. My friends, I encourage you to also stay close to the source. Let God lead and guide you to shine your brightest. Help when you may and be a beacon for those around you.
For the creatives reading this, do not be discouraged. You’re not alone, but one of many shining a light. Singly, we are insignificant, but what God can do with us together is beyond even my imagining.
Do not be afraid of the darkness. It will pass and the light will shine out the brighter. God is in control and even the rampant darkness has a purpose for a season. Let your light shine bright in this present darkness!
As for the sale, they will not miss me, but those looking for more traditional values may be interested in a few I know of who are, or were, in the sale, including my own (at the bottom).
