When I was asked to write about the resurrection as part of a synchronised blog on Maundy Thursday my first thought was that I couldn't do it on that day of all days. Even when I began to write I was not sure where I was going! But I was glad to have been set such a challenge because it was a good end to Maundy Thursday for me.<BR/><BR/>It was so good to hear from you too, Jan, and the situation you are in, which is very much the same here. Once when I was in the North someone asked where I came from and they said, 'Oh, the Bible Belt!' I had never heard or thought of this area in those terms, but there are several evangelical churches that could have occasioned such a label, I suppose. But, like you, we have so many who never give Jesus - or religion of any sort - a single thought. So our churches have started REinspired, by which teams of Christians go into our schools to help with Religious Education. We would be glad of your prayers for this, and we will certainly pray that the way will open up for you to witness where you are.Olive Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757984452846354285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488485108495618260.post-65712881569687332652009-04-09T18:27:00.001-07:002009-04-09T18:27:00.001-07:00I have just read your last three entries.

I didn't go to our Maundy Thursday service, so I really needed to think about the time leading up to the cross. I also needed to think about being bold in my witness. Here in the south of the US, we call our area the Bible Belt, and yet so many people do not know Jesus. At school I have to be careful because we have separation of church and state. And yet there are ways to witness. Pray if you will that opportunities will come and that I will be bold.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487280467170975896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488485108495618260.post-41231310486965019042009-04-09T18:27:00.000-07:002009-04-09T18:27:00.000-07:00Great post and reminders!

We just returned from our Maundy Thursday service and my 10 yr old said "that was so sad" "my heart is heavy" We hugged and are looking forward to Sunday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346233465756948090noreply@blogger.com
