Remembering Easter


El Cristo Redentor - The Redeemer Christ stands on the highest peak, arms outstretched, watching the comings and goings of humankind. Every season, every day and night, He is a witness to our poverty and our crimes in the "civilized" cities below. Some say He is only stone. Others believe something more.
History recounts the blood, the tears, and the torment. Christianity speaks of the triumph for all ages past, present, and future. Some live this triumph. The statue on the hill is just that, a statue, but the point of Easter is that it is not a grave marker. The tears of Christ are not stone. They are "salt and light", the balm for the wounded world.
May you receive a deep peace in your soul from the victory of the Redeemer Christ this Easter and on all other days.

Umm, while Albs is on the phone, I am going to leave you a friendly reminder to update your blog.

REMINDER: Update Blog

You're welcome. So, what else. Oh, here's my blog address: escapethegray.blogspot.com. I figure if I get the important people to stop by there, I can stop simul-posting to xanga, myspace, and blogspot. But I digress.

Hmm. What else to say in this here blog comment? Oh, Albans done. But I think you hung up, so I'll just say goodbye in this rather lengthy comment. It was good to talk to you. Farewell, have a marvelous break. Feel free to call if you get bored.

Oh yeah, don't forget to update. [wink]
