Quote for the day:

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

– John 15:13 [ASV]

“There is a stage in a child’s life at which it cannot separate the religious from the merely festal character of Christmas or Easter.

I have been told of a very small and very devout boy who was heard murmuring to himself on Easter morning a poem of his own composition which began ‘Chocolate eggs and Jesus risen.’

This seems to me, for his age, both admirable poetry and admirable piety.

But of course the time will soon come when such a child can no longer effortlessly and spontaneously enjoy that unity.

He will become able to distinguish the spiritual from the ritual and festal aspect of Easter; chocolate eggs will no longer seem sacramental.

And once he has distinguished he must put one or the other first.

If he puts the spiritual first he can still taste something of Easter in the chocolate eggs; if he puts the eggs first they will soon be no more than any other sweetmeat.

They will have taken on an independent, and therefore a soon withering, life.”

- C. S. Lewis

Hi, reader!

I don’t know if the resurrection means anything to you.

But I do hope it does.

And I hope it continues meaning something to you even after the Easter holidays.

Hope it’s not just a once a year thing.

Hope it’s more than just another ritual. More than just religion.

Hope you understand your beliefs, and if you don’t, I hope you dare to question them, and actually make an effort to find the answers. The right answers.

The truth.

Most of all, I hope that even though you’ve heard it a bajillion times in church, you know that God loves you, because he does.

Very, very much.

Anyway…

Have a Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Here’s to the most beautiful love story in the history of the world.
