If you’ve been following my weekly articles, you know that I have always started with a question in the topic line and then proceeded to offer my answer to that question through the course of the article. Well, I don’t have a question this week. And I’m not going to post a long dissertation or thesis on the issues that have been in the forefront this week and what we or our leaders ought to be doing about them. Today is Easter Sunday in the Western Christian Church tradition or, as many refer to it, Resurrection Sunday. So, unlike every week preceding this one, I don’t have a complaint to make, a frustration to vent or a rant to make. As I prepared to head off to church this morning, I just wanted to wish all of my Christian friends a very Happy Easter. And while I’m at it, let me wish my Jewish friends a Happy Passover, the religious observance which started on Friday and runs through next Sunday. For many of us, from many different faith traditions, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Shinto, Islam, Sikhism, Confucianism, Jainism, Hinduism, Taoism, Baha’i, Zoroastrianism and many others that I can’t name, it is our faith that’s gets us through the challenges of life. Holding on to our faith allows us all to carry on through the setbacks and disappointments and to rejoice in the victories and accomplishments, both large and small. “I don’t know what tomorrow holds,” I like to say to myself, “but I know who holds tomorrow.” So that’s it from me this week. And as the TV commercial says, not a sermon, just a thought from me to you on this Easter Sunday.
