That is a terribly depressing title for your post.
Life is what you make of it, or are allowed to make of it. Luck and fate are obvious influences.
It seems that you have lived a full and satisfying life, notwithstanding setbacks and suffering.
Most lives experience happiness and joy along with pain and sadness.
It's what we do with our lives to fulfill our destiny, whatever and wherever that takes us.
This particular weekend recounts one of the most powerful and emotional stories in human experience, so lighten up a bit and let the sun shine in.

The title is not meant to be taken seriously.
I am not inclined to argue.
Good Friday is the most solemn day in Catholic faith.The Eurcharist is removed from the tabernacle. The oil lamp that lights the altar twenty-fours hours a day to signify The Presence ,is extinguished on that day and the next . And joyfully lit again on Easter Sunday.
Considering the influence of the Church, that it was founded on three years of Christ's ministry and has survived two thousand and sixteen years since is certainly impressive.
The lessons taught in that short span of time have stood the test of time. No consult, no code of ethics could improve upon it.
I never really bought the miracle concept. Walking on water, stretching a couple of loaves and a few fillets to feed thousands and raising Lazarus from the dead seemed a bit over the top. But the narrative didn't depend on its authenticity.
The concept of Limbo was a bigger hurdle but I reserved my own counsel about that.
All in all, It really doesn't matter if research proves Christ did not exist.
I will continue to believe that he did.Faith is the first founding principle.
Life would lose meaning without belief in a higher power.
Whoever wrote the story made a very convincing job of it.
If nothing else,what measurement could be used to distinguish good from evil ?
How else would we cope with life's vicissitudes?
From the darkest day, Good Friday, to the glory of Easter Sunday, life is celebrated and Hope springs eternal...the second founding principle.

I see miracles each and everyday! The fact we wake up in the morning when some people don't is enough for me. Happy Easter eveyone. :)
Many of us take everything you write seriously.

Not her topics. They are generally quite amusing. I usually grin and try and figure out her source.
I enjoyed the version of the life of Jesus in which he survived, caught a ship and left. Eventually he was married and there were a couple of sons born. It worked for me.
Are you not concerned with what's going on at the old Tannery property on Tyler St.
