(Thanks to subscriber Marilyn H. for sending in a picture of her Easter rock.)
My friend was telling me that she was talking to her grand-daughter about Christmas and how the world celebrates the birth of Jesus at this time.

I was taking my six-year-old son to sign him up at the Chicago Boys Club, an event he had been long waiting for.

“If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, he would have sent an economist.
If he had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or an artist.
If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician.
If he had perceived that our greatest need was health, he would have sent us a doctor.
But he perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound rebellion, our death;
... and he sent us a Savior. ”
