For my fellow Christians who stop by: Rejoice in the Lord always, for everything is different, and we know why.<\/p>\n
For my non-Christian and non-religious visitors, may you also find a joy and fulfillment along your journey, as winter gives way to the abundance of spring. \u00a0You never know, after all, where that journey will lead.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be back in a week or so, and then it\u2019s back to the blog. \u00a0Until then,<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lord<\/span> bless you and keep you;<\/span>
\nThe Lord<\/span> make His face shine upon you,<\/span>
\nAnd be gracious to you;<\/span>
