Happy Mother's Day to my mom, my mother-in-law and all the moms!
Thank you for nurturing us while we were in your womb, for enduring birth pains, for feeding us, changing our diapers, picking up after us, taking us to school, picking us up from school, teaching us, guiding us, developing us, disciplining us, helping us pursue God's plans for us, sharing our ups and downs, being there for us, and loving us with the kind of love only mothers can give.
Enjoy your special day!

Happy Easter!
Jesus, the perfect God and the perfect man, was crucified on the cross - for my sins and for yours, so we did not have to pay the price for our actions. That was how much He loved us.
But death was not the end of the story.
When the women visited the tomb where Jesus's body was, they got a message from the angel:
Happy Easter!
But death was not the end of the story.
When the women visited the tomb where Jesus's body was, they got a message from the angel:
Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. - Matthew 28: 5-6The tomb is empty! He is risen!
Happy Easter!

The Sun, The Son
Before daylight savings time took effect two weeks ago, the sun would have had risen and there would be daylight by the time I left for work. But as we were now an hour "ahead", the sun did not rise until later.
A couple of days into the new time, I was driving west towards campus, as usual. Morning gradually broke and I could see the rising sun from my rear window. As I glanced at the sun, I was happy that the sun was there.
Then it dawned on me.
Despite what we have been taught as children about the sun rising from the east and setting on the west, the sun does not move. It is the earth that does. The sun has always been where it is. It does not matter that we change our clock every six months, the sun always shines where it is. We don't see it because the parts of the earth moves facing away from it every day.
It is the same with the Son. We see darkness around us not because God is not there. He does not "show up"; He has always been where He is. We don't see Him because we move away from Him, not because He moves away from us.
May we always move towards Him and bask in His glorious Light.
