Tuesday was technically the longest day of the year. Also known as the summer solstice. Ironically though the day with the most amount of daylight is also the day that the Earth is furthest away from the sun. In the same way the shortest day of the year, the one with least daylight is when the Earth is closest to the Sun. I think we humans are much the same way. When things are going great, we feel pretty good about ourselves and have a tendency to get away from the one who is The Light. But when the days are dark and cold and we feel all alone is when we get close to the Son .
