Easter Thoughts

This Easter I'm grateful to live in a peaceful country. One that doesn't suffer the same religious strife as many others.

In the news this week we learn of over 100 Christians slaughtered at a Kenyan university. Terrorists targeted them for their beliefs.

The countries around Israel want to wipe them off the map. Simply because they're Jews.

Most of the strife in the Mideast is over religious differences. And many innocents suffer  and die as a result.

But in our country, those who celebrate Easter may do so in peace. They can worship in security.

And those who practice no religion are free to not believe in anything - if that's what they choose.

In spite of the many difference we see in our society, we can find much to be grateful for when we look at other parts of the world.
