“All we ever wanted is found in You.” The entire ensemble sang this closing line in the dramatic musical Two from Galilee, with script by Karla Worley and musical numbers from Robert Sterling. The finale included Mary and Joseph center stage, holding baby Jesus, with the entire cast worshiping the Christ child. The room went dark, and a light appeared, illuminating the holy family with the shape of a cross.

Sometimes I realize the event I’m standing in looms much larger than just my corner of the world. Such was my feeling after witnessing Donald Trump decisively win the presidency of the United States. Millions of Americans realized the dismal spiral our country was on the past four years. What we experienced into the early hours of last Wednesday morning was a loud repudiation of the leftist elites and their terrible and harmful ideas the past four-plus years. kAm$:IE66?

Holidays, particularly religious ones (the word holidays is derived from the words holy days), carry with them a lot of memories that invoke various emotional responses. Easter reminds me of decorating Easter eggs with my mother using the PAAS egg dye kit. I remember seeing my grandparents every Easter, usually at their house. We enjoyed egg hunts and Easter baskets. I have very fond church memories from various Easters.
