Easter

It is Easter Sunday today, one of the two Christmases celebrated in the Christian world, and the holiest celebration of the Christian faith. It is a time of renewed faith and a time of hope... it is the time when Christians all over the world celebrate the resurrection - the coming to life again - of the Christ Jesus... it is one of the most important mysteries of the Christian faith... and life really is about faith... and hope, too... as the old cliche goes, successes make us celebrate life, failures make us humble... hope and faith keep us going... it is true.

This day, the family - our extended family - is celebrating Easter with a swimming party. It is an activity to celebrate the blessings our creator has been constantly showering us. And it is also a celebration of our kids' graduation (Rain) and birthdays (River and Ash). They will be accompanied by our parents, brothers and sisters, and their cousins. It will definitely be a memorable day for everyone... it will be a time for renewed bonding... a time when everyone becomes closer to one another... afterall, that's what families are for... for Alice and me, we'll just watch from the sidelines - through text messages and photos they will send us through email later... that will also be worthwhile for us...

Happy Easter! Keep the faith...
