I hope this Easter Sunday has special significance to you and that it's not just eggs and bunnies and family gatherings.

Do you feel utterly helpless and in the depths of despair?

Are you a frazzled, frustrated, depths of despair person?

I grew up with colored hardboiled eggs, chocolate bunnies, and yellow marshmallow chickies nestled in baskets of shredded paper.

Blessed is the LORD! Jesus Christ came to earth through a miraculous birth, to live and minister, and to die for the sins of the world.

How can we be thankful and grateful when our lives are intermingled with troubles and toils?

I hope I find you celebrating the true meaning of this day when Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

There was this extraordinary woman who began life in 1820.

A new year and a new day may not usher in the sunshine to dispel the doubts and fears we have about the current world situation

For only in Christ will we have peace through suffering, and hope of eternal life. HE is the light of the world!
