Happy Easter Open Thread

On this day when we Christians celebrate our risen Lord, I wish to extend my best wishes to all. In the spirit of the time, I beg forgiveness for any thing I have done which caused any harm in any way – and I forgive all who may have, at times, held ungenerous opinions of me.

This is also the first anniversary of my father’s death, as well as the 42nd anniversary of the murder of Martin Luther King. Melancholy things to think about, but as both men were Christians, a time to also recall the hope both of them had for the life of the world to come. There are so many open invitations to despair in our world, it is good at times to consider those who have gone before us – and to tap in to the faith they showed, right up to the end.

God bless all of you – I wish you all happiness and a life freed from all anxiety.
