Back to Reality

The day after Easter, my wife and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary with a trip to Hawaii. The beauty of this earthly paradise is beyond human words of description. All the months of planning, anticipation and excitement were realized in this dream vacation. We followed-up this week in Hawaii with a week in LA at the Azusa Street Centennial. After 2 weeks of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual rest and refreshment, it is time to get back to reality. Reality is where humanity spends the majority of the calendar year. Reality is crowded with pain, suffering, sin and death. Reality may not be a paradise-like dream vacation but it is where the body of Christ serves without fanfare and hype. Let us roll up our sleeves and face reality with the love, power and joy of Jesus Christ.
