But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

It is pouring rain.
Here I sit in hope not felt
Yet I still believe.
I have not placed my fingers
In the holes . . . yet He filled mine.

Never had a tree so touched my heart.
Acorns, bark, leaves to rake.
It was so ordinary, almost invisible.
Lent’s reminder of my Savior’s love – His blood. . .
Somehow the tree wasn’t just a tree anymore.

I can STILL hear His footsteps as He dragged the heavy, rough cross along a seemingly endless path . . . sweat and blood dripping . . . knowing what was to come . . .and He did it for me.

They gave Him bitter wine to drink
and He took it
so that we might have
that which was sweet.

The clouds break apart
dampened grass between my toes
Ah, new beginnings
