Well I too have been sucked into the vastness known as FaceBook!

And for someone like me who has the occasional thing to say it works well. There isn't the pressure of a blog needing to be written (not, as you can plainly see, that I submit to that pressure normally) or vast reams of white space needing to be filled. You just do stuff when you get the urge.

So.. anyway... yeah,

there I am.

See you later

The Tomb.

The sun rises slowly over the hills, two men, armored, lay as dead. A stone lays on its side. Birds flit from tree to tree with song and life. Sunlight strides inexorably forward warming the land. Small lives creep forward to bask, heal, rejoice.

The tomb is empty.

Footsteps clatter across the stone, women approach to mourn. Spices to leaven the dead, herbs and clothes. Gravel slides unheeded, clinking and scratching. Footsteps falter and hearts flutter. The sun crests the final hill, light streaming down to earth.

The tomb is empty.

Light bright as the sun, shining like lightening garbs the strangers, fear clutches as mortals gasp. A question from lips eternal fulfill a prophecy old. Why do you seek? Behold! He is Risen just as He said. The light of the sun warms the land.

The tomb is empty.

Tears flow as eyes confirm, a rocky ledge unburdened by death. Hope grows, hearts strain, joy sings to silence nature itself. The world must know, the brothers must hear, feet run towards home. Streams of sunlight caress the world.

The tomb is empty.

Women running to tell stop. Recognize feet that trod a thousand miles, legs that walked with strength, arms that held the weak , the face that smiles. All air rushes out, the world spins, He smiles. Golden, rich, strong, the sun rises above the world.

The tomb is empty.

The Tomb is Empty!!

The Light of the World has Returned!

Well here it is almost 2 months after Christmas and I am able to blog again. It was all that I feared and dreaded. The greed, the anger, the anxiety. Sigh.... its good to be past that for the most part. But now I live with suffering, pain and frustration.

I broke my glasses yesterday!

Its not as bad for me as for some. I can still see and read (rather obviously) but everything is "just" out of focus so I get a headache because my eyes keep trying to bring everything into focus.

The up side is that now I will go make an eye appointment. Its been about 5 years since I had my prescription updated, so thats going to be better anyway.

So how have you been anyway? What have you been doing and how is everyone?

I am still with XSCargo, managing the store here in Halifax, but management and paperwork is really not my forte. I would love to be back in fulltime ministry or counselling somewhere, but I have to admit that its kind of neat that I meet so many people in the store that would like to discuss God. That has been a real blessing. Working with customers and staff has also been good for increasing my patience too :-)

And I absolutely must say that if you ever get the opportunity to work for Doug M. (he is my direct boss at Head Office) take it. He has been fantastic with me, very patient and helpful, also willing to give me a kick when I need it too.

Thanks Doug!

See ya
