After the long trek from Christmas to Easter, how will I live from May-November?
This year my catalyst lies in the time from Good Friday to Easter Sunday. Little did I know the wealth that awaited me during this small block of time from Jesus' death, burial and resurrection.
God would bless me with three videos... and an amazing cup of tea.
Death: There is no such thing as anti-aging...
My conclusion? God is preparing me for Heaven. I choose to age gracefully and naturally.
Burial: There is Hope...
This song has special significance for me. My father had a near-fatal stroke when I was 11. I remember praying to a God I did not know to heal him and let him live. He miraculously survived without brain damage or long-term paralysis, despite given less than a 10% chance of even surviving the brain surgery. He awoke in ICU seeing me "sitting on a window ledge waving" (I was in the doorway - not quite 12 yet so I couldn't go in) and "hearing" Elvis singing How Great Thou Art. It was a long, hard rehabilitation while he learned to walk and talk again. His doctors called him the Miracle Patient. Some things medical science just can't explain. And they were ok with that.
Resurrection: The Gift of Life...

Hello Sonia,
My Cup of Tea
"His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower." ~ William Cowper
"There came a time when the risk it took to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~ Anais Nin
"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change." ~ Buddha
via Green Ganesh: "In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet" - or in this case, in their tea
John 11:24-26
