Legally Rambling (December 7, 2009) A late night in the Wright library, once again sleep alludes me, the chill of the air filtering through the double door, my yellow companion gone to some unearthly paradise, thanking God for his company and listening to Jeremy Camp Live from Dallas tonight. I am humbling wondering about it all - as I so often do - in the quiet of the morning.
One thing I have learned from practicing law is that life certainly is full of both light and shadows. Yes, those people of Christ who illuminate your walk and help you on your way and then again those people who walk this earth who are truly evil. Yes, both exist. They are real. The law, however, exists somewhere in between. And, for a lawyer, at times trying to find the truth in it all is frankly not easy. But at some point in your legal path you do have to make a choice between light and shadows. Lawyers see it in clients all the time. But the choice exists for us all. And, it all comes down to the basics.
Now as I understand it in Medieval Europe, priest used to stay up at night, because they thought that the Devil ruled the night, they would pray all night long to combat the enemy on his own ground. Sad that the enemy's territory has expanded to the day as well. The law however seeks to find the truth. But you know it is really not about this world at all. It is for us all about reaching out ... it all begins with Love ...
I for one choose Light and Love. Grace and Peace this morning my friends ... Ramble On!
