The First of April

Time goes fast like a speeding race car in the Grand Prix. I guess the year has finally gone the curve, and it's summer again. The heat is burning up the asphalt and concrete, and everyone's either having fun in the icy-coldness of the shopping malls or just plain stewing in their homes. "April Fools'" how appropriate to start the month this way...maybe to remind ourselves not to take the pressues of life too seriously, or maybe just the opposite, that we are all too foolish to see that life does matter and that we do have to take stock where we are now.

Next week is the start of Cuaresma or Holy Week...time to meditate and be grateful that Jesus does care. Hey, he does. Who among us would have the guts to hang on a cross for almost three hours? No one. And that is why I value Him so much.
