Jesus' resurrection does not just save us at some future date, but changes our lives here and now. Through Jesus, we can put to death our old lives of selfishness and sorrow, and rise again to lives of charity and joy. He makes our current lives worth living.
This past week has been a difficult balancing act of the school I take, the school I teach, after school events, practices, and services. It was pointed out to me that, due to a variety of events, I was at my church for seven of the past eight days. I feel that all of that has been time well spent.
I go into this next week feeling spiritually, if not physically, refreshed.
