Johnny, You are not priviledged ....
If you want to be immune and insist on being shielded from the indignities of life that too often raise your ire ;
Then. Please change your mailing address to Oz, The Fifth Dimension, Never Never Land or Utopia!

Do I need asuurance of success before ...
I will take a baby step towards getting into action?
If this be true, then, Am I guilty of bein g someone who walks by sight rather than faith? OUCH, if this is true!

The Day In Between
Good Friday was yesterday- The rememberance of The Death of Jesus. Tomorrow is Easter - The Day that we honor Jesus' Resurrection from The Dead.
Yet is the Day in Between. The Day when Jesus - The God-Man was in te grave as dead as anyonein the cemetery,
Those who follwed Jesus, loved Him and were taught and trained by Him saw Him die the day before! To those good people, Today was a day of the most severe loss, geief and hoelessness. Dead was dead- those who loved Him thought He was lost forever.
The power of The Resurrection and the responses that those who were closest to Him, their willingness to proclaim Him and suffer and die in His name and in His service! Having gone through THAT Saturday, The Resurrection the NEXT Day was sop sweet and so all-embracing to them.
He was Dead and Lost would NOW Rule and Reign Forever!
HE IS RISEN !!!! ------------ He IS RISEN, INDEED !

The Mop, The Lily and the Bunny
I live in a rather ordinary Garden Apartment Complex in an inner suburb of DC located in Northern Virginia.
I was running a BIT late this Good Friday AM, but I noticed that my mop was still on the balcony drying out after my last using it. Noting , to myself, that, My Complex was threatening to fine people for " making their balcony unsightly".
So, I brought the mop in. I noticed that it was actually relatively warm and sunny. I was given an Easter Lily that started to bloom just yesterday and so I set that on the balcony to have a chance to bask in the sunshine.
I then finally got out the door and going. Right after clearing the outside steps of My Apartment, A small gray young rabbit came out of the underbrush and scampered right in front of me.
The Mop caused me to value and display The Lily. If I'd left on time. I would have missed the bunny.
It seems that I was being focused as I started my day's journey on Good Friday and the Easter Season.
He IS Risen! He IS Risen, Indeed!
