Easter

As we reach the culmination of Holy Week on Sunday, let us all take a moment and really reflect on what it all means. Sacrifice by one for all.

I have been following a number of stories over the week on various blogs and news sites I read. The one commonality I find disturbing is everyone has to be exclusively right with no room for compromise. God did not send Jesus, and Jesus did not accept his role for any particular group to call themselves right, or the only ones in the know. They performed these miraculous acts for all of us. The dogma of the human race to only seek a winner instead of acceptance of all points of view is a philosophy we need to outgrow. If we don't I fear we are doomed to face the fate of so many of our ancestors over history. A continuing struggle to fight, kill, stigmatize and persecute others all in the name of God.

I feel at this time more than any other in the past few years we can almost start to feel hope again. Hope is a powerful thing and one which enables us to try to see beyond our own front door and venture into the door of another.
