Not Just Another Holiday
A Happy BLESSED EASTER to all. It isn`t the candy, chocolate bunnies, or colored eggs, or the fancy clothes.It is a resurrection of JESUS CHRIST.
Going to church or not...I know people who do go to church, & can`t be the Christians they are supposed to be. A learned prayer, repeating the same thing over & over is just religion, it doesn`t make someone pure, wholesome or automatically a Christian. I reverted to "Cathalicism" when my kids were small, did the studying, the continual knelling, & chanting. Then, I found the God does answer prayers without all the "Laws" of the church. All one has to do is have your faith, be in a quiet place, in your mind & heart, & say a prayer with substance, with thanksgiving & a good attitude with gratitude.
I`ve been to several churches, & got baptized in all of them.
But I decided, that unless you want that extended family of people, I don`t care for an organized religion. Has anyone seen how much money it takes to run the Catholic Organization...look at Rome & "the finery" . What each person believed it their own choice. That is why I got ordained, a non-profit, no organization. I have been a Christian all my life, doing for others, in my work, taking care of the elderly, in one way or another for 42 yrs. You have to live faith...one doesn`t get it by attendance, in something. Well, I`m a writer...this is what I also do, & share. God`s Blessings to you who read this. Ness

Happy Easter Day, to you. . .
THANK YOU!! It is reminiscent of my Ukrainian heritage, where they took great pains to indulge & make artful eggs to echange instead of cards. Since I haven`t siblings or Mother or Father anymore..it means a lot to me to see the art. I am also an artist of portrait making. Thanks again. Ness
