It isn't about the bunny. We do enjoy dying eggs, playing games, and eating chocolate & jelly beans for sure, but at least my older family members get it, it really is not about the bunny. We enjoyed a lovely day with family. We had an incredible morning of church & worship. We remembered. The sacrifice our Lord made, coming to us in an "Earth Suit" (as our Pastor says), living among us, feeling every moment of pain, all so that we could be forgiven. It is beyond comprehension. I am so grateful for the renewed energy, and optimism that has taken hold at Agoura Bible Fellowship. Spring has brought us a new Pastor, and renewed hope. Happy Spring everyone! I hope your life is graced with lily's and tulips, optimism, and cheer!
I enter this new week a little tired, but smiling. Why? No drama this weekend. We had sunshine, and sports, and cuddle time--- less the drama. Most families don't experience the intense level of emotions that the Rhodes clan does. Sure, they have the hectic life of families, perhaps some fighting, the normal mess--- perhaps a little teen hormone induced drama....but we have drama of a different kind in our house. The kind of drama caused by a brain that is shooting off crazy chemicals induced by years of trauma. When our son Victor is home, the whole world is a great big land mine. Saying the wrong thing, calling him out on behavior, or even suggesting that he not eat a 4th serving of ice cream can cause the the peace to recede, and for chaos to ensue. He is now in a boarding school for kids with emotional issues. As sad as it is that our family isn't all together--- I must admit that the peace in our household is a welcome blessing. We are learning more and more
