For Real?

For the first time in my life, I felt in my heart to stop and take some time to reflect on the Easter story. The Easter season has always been when we do church and go through the motions and listen to the account of Jesus dying on the cross and rising from death on the third day. This time was different; I have been in awe of everything Jesus had to go through for me (and the world) to get me closer to my Father.

What that has left us with is a life of stagnancy and stillness, where we are constantly on edge and waiting for this storm to pass so we can get back to our normal life and continue the journey we were on. It seems reasonable to pause everything we were happily building before lockdown, right? After all, the restrictions in various places leave less room to manoeuvre and near impossible to get anything done. Depending on the severity in your area, you may not be able to do anything outside the confines of your home, just like what Noah and his family had to deal with during the flood in their time.

Nonetheless, I’ll like to interrupt your busy schedule today and announce that:
