Its Friday, but Sundays coming...

I've been neglecting you - so sorry! Truth is being in limbo is no fun, but it does give me a chance to finish up GST returns, end of year accounts and all those other boring things that are necessary. The supplements and 'good food regime' are keeping me going, and I even have a personal trainer coming once a week to help restore the bod to some of its former glory (minus the weight-loss!) Thanks Glen!. Thats Glen the friend, not Glen the son.
This weekend its Easter - we know what Friday stands for. Why do they call it Good? Pain, anguish, betrayal, loss, suffering. Most of us have been there - some of us are still living in the 'Friday' Take heart - the story of Easter is that there is a Sunday, a day of redemption, victory, renewed hope, new beginnings. Its not just another story - its THE story. Its what gives our faith wheels, makes it the Greatest Story Ever Told, and gives our lives purpose and significance. I've had my fill of Fridays - like you, I'm hanging out for Sunday, when the glory of the resurrection puts everything we do, everything we are into perspective. So have a great Easter, go easy on the Chocolate Bunnies (sugar, remember?) and thank God for life. And if your life seems stuck in the Friday, heres the good news - Sundays coming!

  2. Hey Murray - you are right.
    We 'hung out' for Sunday. What a difference!

    See you on (Friday).
    Blessings to you & Fay.

  3. Came across an old favourite quote - so just passing it on!
    "God is too good to be unkind.
    God is too wise to be mistaken.
    When I cannot trace his hand
    I can always trust his heart"
    Looking forward to catching up at the weekend.

  5. Hi Murray

    Yes hang in there brother. You mentioned the greatest story ever told and reminded me of the movie by that same name (surprise!) not commercially successful but to use the word of the director of the movie in time it will be seen as the work of art that it is and of course the victory that Christ in Jesus.
