Easter is the greatest and happiest feast in the Christian world. It comes at the time when the world is being renewed in Spring, waking up and breathing life from the barren winter.
Have a blessed Easter! Christ is Alive!

Traditions are our windows to the wisdom of ages past, is their way of communicating important values and teachings to the succeeding generations. Sometime we take traditions for granted, not knowing the experience and thinking process that brought about such act, commemoration, ritual or whatever.
We oftentimes just breeze through the motions to get it done and over with.
Then, at some point in time, when we least expect it, the wealth of the experiences and knowledge of ages past cascades like a wave but speaks in a firm voice but gentle as a whisper.
The we understand, the wisdom of ages past have spoken and tradition is brought to a new light.

A new take on the Parable of the Prodigal Son (thanks to Father Vic).
Luke 15:1-3, 11-32

We always hear the parable of the prodigal son, but the main protagonist is the generous and ever waiting Father. His younger son wanted him for dead and went off with his inheritance and squandered it to the ground. But upon the younger’s homecoming, the Father ran to meet him and welcomed him with open arms.

The older had done nothing wrong and always followed the Father, yet his pride blinded him to the meaning of true love.

We are a bit of the younger and the older son.

But the Father never tires of welcoming us and waiting for us to return home.

Pause for the Earth, 22 April 2010!

Sometimes you gotta start what you need to start, and the only way to do it is to just GO!

I finished the Century Tuna’s 5K run this morning. I didn’t mind the time, I just wanted to finish and start running again.  It has been about a year and a half since my last, and this morning was a good start.

Saw again old running friends, and met new ones either starting or starting again.  It was a good run, and a good start.

The ice has broken, time to hit the roads again!
