We are made from dust, but we are not meant for earth. We are meant for heaven.
Lent begins, but Easter beckons.
With Christ let us rise from the ashes of this day!

My Watch is “Two-Faced”
10 AprUsually I wear a wristwatch that has two “faces.” One is set for local, Milford, time – 10:47 a.m. in the photo below. The other is seven hours ahead: 5:47 p.m., which is “Bethlehem time.” I keep myself on track … and I am constantly reminded of my friends in Bethlehem, Beit Jala, Beit Sahour, Nablus, Nazareth and Jerusalem.
Sunday morning as I reached into my dresser drawer for a clean handkerchief, I noticed my “good” watch. I wear it on special occasions. Easter is special! So, onto my wrist went my good watch. As a reminder that Easter Day is actually an Octave, I will wear my special watch for eight days, until next Sunday evening.
I can easily and quickly add seven hours to remember whether my friends in the Holy Land are awake or asleep.
