This Easter column was in the works when a love song played in my head. It served to remind me of God’s omnipresence:
“It’s Always You” Funny, it’s not a star I see, it’s always you.
If a breeze caresses me, it’s really you strolling by
If I hear a melody, it’s merely the way you sigh
Wherever you are you’re near me, you dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time I fall in love, It’s always you.
One year ago, most Christians missed Easter Sunday. Palm Sunday, one week before, begins Holy Week when the faithful slow down, take stock, recall and relive Christ’s passion. Believers will question their lives in faint hopes of justifying His sacrifice. This faith of ours, given at birth, or chosen, tells us that God created the world and everything in it.
