No sacrifice, no victory.
The very purpose this blog is to share my experience of trying to face my life in Jesus way. When I say that I mean the troubles and worries that comes in life, trying to see them the way Jesus has taught and live them that way. Of course, I am not successful all the time, but the hope of peace and joy from the Gurus way is keeping me walk that way since all else I have tried, I have failed miserably.
Recently certain happenings have undone my efforts so far to a larger scale than I would like to admit. First is I have started smoking again, not that many still two three cigrattes a day. A slave, first to the emotions that brings a kind of helplessness in my mind and then the craving. The helplessness started when the folks whom I have to repay after I inherited a debt called for asking money.
The second is loosing temper, flaring up at the least of provocation.
At times, I am loosing the focus to see the tests as a challenge the way my belief preaches. Somehow I fall under the burden of challenges taking them as certainties even though the fact remains nothing is certain nor constant, even this stage has to pass.
No sacrifice no victory was the caption they had on the board of my undergraduate students. But most of them did not turn up for a special class I arranged to finish up their lessons before the semester end. I lived that three hours class, an extreme joy god has blessed me with during this troubling times.
Sat all the afternoon today, Sunday, at lady of Ransom. It was impossibly hot even though it had rained well last week, even with thunders rolling.

Easter
Happy Easter.
At lady of ransom the church was not full at all for the morning mass, folks were particular to attend the Easter mass at night.
There was this guy from the XIX common wealth game, Delhi doing some kind of promo, "Sher" Man or the mascot.
The day of blessing and distributing Holy Water too. The church towers are nearing completion. They are almost white washed now, but still more work to be done. The first picture with some paint on, should say.

Maundy Thursday
The Pessaha.
College closed on Wednesday till Sunday. This is a long holiday and I was heaving huge relief when an awful tooth ache took me down. An "unbelievably" humble dentist told me she could not help until the swelling subsides.
Stayed home, Thursday and Friday, just going to the neighborhood church for the "Burial" on Good Friday Night.
