I Corinthians 1:18
For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
*      *      *      *      *      *      *       *       *
Just now I had a hair stuck in the hinge of my glasses.  I pulled it out and it dropped on my desk.  For a nanosecond, I was surprised it wasn't brown.  I have a headful of gray hair that I see in the mirror every day and yet,  I forget from time to time I forget that time does indeed march through the cells of my body sucking the color out of it.  The fact is that we are all perishing.  The message of the cross is that death happens and that there's something bigger than death. The color of the hair on my head surprised me because death happens and I have Easter on my mind. 
*       *       *      *       *      *      *       *      *
Holy God, you rock. Amen.
