It's Easter!

I've always looked upon the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter as a sort of "non-day" historically. It's the middle of three days and there's nothing special that's assigned to today. So, I've used the day as a kind of contemplative day. Yesterday is a day of sorrow and grief - for the wrong I've done and for what caused the death of my Savior; and, tomorrow is a day of celebration - life's victory. Today is in between. So, in a contemplative mood I pose a question to any readers: What is the most significant thing that any single person could do? In a quick pass though my mind (some would say that would be a short cut) I can think of several things that might be of interest - relieving sorrow, providing for the poor and afflicted, leading someone into a life of faith with hope and promise. There are more, I'm sure. ANyway, tag, you're it.

Medical update (if you're interested): The back surgery is healing nicely. It seems to be an overall improvement although not the removal of all pain that I had hoped for. Maybe in the next few weeks, as things continue to heal in my back, the pain in my leg will also improve. It's hard to believe that last Friday marked two weeks from the surgery. I'm back at work and my "weight restriction" has been removed - as it relates to how much I can carry - still "don't be crazy, Gene." I marvel at modern science.

I leave you with a note of peace and hope for the future. In the link is an article from Newsweek magazine about this Christian faith. I think it particularly good in that it doesn't proselytize and doesn't bash either. There are some interesting questions posed. I know, more questions. Seek answers! But don't give up. Don't grow weary. Hope is just around the corner.
