In the Christian tradition Easter is a celebration of new life through redemption from limitations of humanity.

Given that over 40% of first time marriages (and 60% of second marriages) end in divorce, in an attempt to discover what the key factors are in sustaining a long marriage Cheryl has conducted a small survey among married couples. Most have been married over 25 years and several over 45 years although a couple of insightful respondents, now divorced, have offered thoughts in hindsight about what would have saved their marriages.

Creation is often a two sided coin, one side representing our human ability to create something from nothing, or something using tools and imagination. The other side of that coin being that part of creation that we do not have control over, that we might not even have understanding of. Such as how the universe was created or why is it still expanding. This richness of the word Creation brings to mind the mystery of creative powers, both of our own powers, but also the creative powers of the Universe. Let us explore these mysteries together, not necessarily to gain a deeper understanding of what is happening, but to revel at the power, the mystery and the creation.
