it has truly been a meaningful Easter. we may sometimes ask, just what is so good about a day on which the Holy One was pierced and murdered for our sake. HOW DID IT COME TO THIS? on no year has it been clearer to me that every single nail He endured was my fault. each one of us should take full responsibility for His death...but if it all were to end there, we'd have nothing but grief. hallelujah that He conquered death, brought life and hope to all!!!

it was such a joyous occasion to watch three good friends get baptised on saturday, and hear how their knowledge of who Christ is grew richer each time they encountered Him in their early days. He is a genuine deliverer, taking His creations from darkness to light, valleys to mountaintops, gloom to sunshine. who else can change our lives so much?!?

yesterday nick, alfred and i served dinner at hope mission, which was a rewarding, memorable task. the volume of guests seemed overwhelming yet not unrealistic, but became a humble reminder of the need to treasure and be thankful for the simplest basics of life. and as the volunteer coordinator, lisa, included in her grace, it's because of Him that we even were able to provide that meal.

THANKS, JESUS!
