Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

On a lighter note

It's Wednesday of Holy Week. Passover begins tonight at sundown (the Jewish way of keeping time, remember - "and there was evening, and there was morning, the first day").

A friend posted this link on her blog last week, and I've been looking forward to sharing it. This just cracks me up. If you don't understand all the facebook references, just ask anyone who does to explain it to you...

The Passover Seder, the oldest continuously observed religious ceremony in the world, tells the story of the Jews' Exodus from Egypt. Jewish tradition says that people of each generation must imagine that they personally had departed from Egypt, and the sages say that each generation must tell the story in its own terms.The sages probably did not intend this.
