After checking in to read a post or two, I thought maybe this one could stay at the top for at least a moment and not that other unfortunate topic.
Some may celebrate Easter and some may not. There have been years where I have been really into it and others where I wanted to hide from it, because it was too optimistic and i wasn't in a place to celebrate.
If you're not a believer in the Religious celebration of Easter -- Winter does give way to Spring and that in and of itself brings some degree of joy to anyone and everyone. I hope you're taking in the beauty of the springtime and the sunshine as well.
For those who do believe in it --- Death is not the end, life wins, love wins.... and while that message of resurrection is sometimes TOO optimistic -- one thing I take away from it as a believer and one thing I think a non believer can take away from it ----
There is always something to look forward to!
If I can't look forward to anything else, and even if I knew I'd die in four hours...
I still have something to look forward to....because death is not the end.
Sometimes the knowledge of having something to look forward to made the difference.
At other time, it's how I get through grinds, that there's something to look forward to.
When there are no more tomorrows to look forward to, that's when I know the bottom is near. I haven't been there fortunately, but could have gotten closer to it if I hadn't known there was some kind of better tomorrow I was working toward.
Either way... whether this messasge finds you in a good place or a dark place....or just an everyday place...
Happy Easter to you and yours!!! When you ban books before you ban guns, you've admitted that you're more afraid of children learning than you are of children dying.

Happy Easter Dee and thank you for the thoughtful message.
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here.
This is the hope we all have of seeing our loved ones once again in a much better place. I'll choose to believe in hope as opposed to the alternative.they did not fail, because they did what their country asked of them....

Very nice, thoughtful words by all on this post, but if you tried promoting this line of thinking on Facebook you would probably get a timeout for hate speech. All these punks would have a quick change of attitude if the cops just started cracking some skulls.

China Joe Does Not Mention Jesus Christ even Once In His Easter Message, mentions Coronavirus 7 Times. At least he didnt talk about abortion, so i guess thats a plus.All these punks would have a quick change of attitude if the cops just started cracking some skulls.
