Easter's on its way

I will be taking an Easter break, and the blog will be quiet until Tuesday, April 14. Until then, an old friend sent me a fascinating quote, and somehow it resonated with Lent and Easter (and death and new life) for me - so I am sharing it.

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail. I try to increase the power God has given me to see the best in everything and every one, and make that Best a part of my life . . . No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."

-Helen Keller

Don't look for the living among the dead. He has risen. He has risen indeed.

LOVE and GRACE to you.
