I spent the day starting at 5 am taking my grand children to school, going to my Weight Watchers meeting (finding out that despite some great food over Easter I did not gain any weight nor did I lose), and spent part of the day at Henry Dorley Zoo. Nancy and I needed to just get away for awhile.

I have been thinking about what this time of Eastertide means at least for me. This is the time to reflect on our life as a disciple and what it means to each of us as we attempt to be faithful. Life presents all kinds of challenges. How we choose to face them says a lot about who we are and what we trust. I know as Joshua said, "As far as me and my family, I choose the Lord." Remembering what he said helps me during times of doubt and uncertainity.
