Easter From a Different View

Tomorrow millions will celebrate Resurrection Day.
Therefore, given the time of year, I have republished the following blog from a time past.
It is one of my favorites. Enjoy.
And, Happy Easter.


Over the years I have read many, many books. A long time ago, a person gave me an idea that has led to this post. I don't remember the author nor the book; but I do remember the idea. 
And while the idea is another's, the thought behind the print is my own.
This is Easter...from a slightly different point of view.
