Grace like Rain

"I once was lost, but now I'm found,
was blind but now I clearly see.
Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me--
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away,
washed away.. (Words from song by Todd Agnew)

Today is Easter, and our city has been graced with a mountain in the middle of it which can be climbed to an errected cross. Watching the sun come up on the eastern horizon, and surrounded by a diverse crowd of people-- all with one intent... to recognize a risen Saviour, Jesus Christ.

What a blessed people we are! We are able to join the mayor of our town along with people from different denominational and cultural backgrounds. While the rest of the world seethes in indifference and violence, we should not take for granted the freedom we enjoy in our country and city-- to worship openly without fear or trepidation. Grace like rain truly does fall upon us Americans. Happy Easter to all.
