"Thanking God today for the option of resurrection...... in after witnessing "death" in multiple ways over my lifetime, I can confidently say new life is available to us at any given time.

"Over the course of time and my spiritual growth, I have come to associate "life" along with the aspect of motion. Being in motion, not simply busyness or activity but in movement, makes me feel alive.
