On this Good Friday I look around and see a world in turmoil..  Christians are being slaughtered around the world.  There are wars and threats of wars in almost every country.  We, in America, are excluding God from our schools and making him an infrequent visitor in our churches. 

With dark skies and storm clouds roiling, I feel a comfort and peace.  My sense of hope and calm comes from a knowledge given me and available to all.  That knowledge, simply stated is: 

        HE  IS  RISEN! 

Happy Easter to everyone.
