Full Life

 Some Christians think that “Resurrection” is something that happens after you die.  I beg to differ.  I think resurrection means living a full life or life to the full beginning here and now.  But to do that one must be willing to bear their own cross whatever that might be.  Now think of walking a child to their first day of class, the First Grade, in the Catholic School and saying, “Now Mary, I am putting you into this school so that you can learn to carry your cross, not always get your way, suffer rejection, betrayal, and still love those around you even if they are not very nice to you.”  Well, if Mary is not wanting to turn around at that moment, when she walks into the classroom or the church and sees someone bleeding and miserable on a cross, she surely will want out.  The Full Life?  I am still a work in progress.
