I’m more and more intrigued by the stories of people who have experienced some of the worst that life has to offer – death of a child, horrible accident, cancer, HIV – and have changed; seriously, radically changed (for the better). A lot of people face those things and after a period of battling or mourning go back to the lives they were leading. There isn’t anything wrong with that. It is, however, the other stories that I am looking for – the (if you will excuse the use of the term) “resurrected” ones. If you have them or know of those who do, please have them email me. I would love to post them here. Thanks and Easter is just as true today as it was yesterday.
