Renew your “Why” this Easter season

The essence of the Easter message, indeed the Easter season is that of Renewal.View Post

Here in the UK, we are seeing lambs skipping in the meadows and wildflowers emerging in green hedgerows – colourful, vibrant, new life. It’s a good time to be bringing all the experiences and learning of the past year, out of the darkness of winter, forward in to the new spring of life.

What I heard from the vicar in the local church where we are resting in Cornwall this week was

If not you who?
If not now, when?

The history of the Earth
“Planet Earth is 4600 million years old. If we condense this inconceivable time-span into an understandable concept, we can liken the Earth to a person of 46 years of age. Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person’s life, and whilst only scattered information exists about the middle span, we know that only at the age of 42 did the Earth begin to flower. Dinosaurs and the great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was 45. Mammals arrived only 8 months ago; in the middle of last week man-like apes evolved into ape-like men, and at the weekend the last ice age enveloped the Earth. Modern Man has been around for four hours. During the last hour, Man discovered agriculture. The industrial revolution began a minute ago. During those 60 seconds of biological time, Modern Man has made a rubbish pit of paradise. He has multiplied his numbers to plague proportions, caused the extinction of 500 species of animals, ransacked the planet for fuels and now stands like a brutish infant, gloating over his meteoric rise to ascendancy…”
