Chilly Easter

The weather gurus are predicting record breaking cold temperatures for Easter. My mother reports that it is to be colder in Ohio than it was for Christmas or New Year’s Day. Explanations abound for this anomaly and we all feel it to be incongruent with our understanding of how Easter should be. However, perhaps it is just a reminder that we are given new life no matter what circumstances surround us when we embrace the Word of God as known through the life and death of Jesus Christ?
