PARADES

Thanks Ken for the information on Samaria and I hope life does continue after death.
  I think that what others believe is very interesting and hopefully helps us to be better people this life.

On the Sunday before Easter we paraded around church with Psalm branches praising
God and remembering the triumphant march of Jesus into Jerusalem on a donkey.  It was fun.
The children really think it is fun!

Yesterday there was a big march in Metro Vancouver to celebrate Vainskhi, a harvest festival for Hindu's as well as  Sikhs, it marks the beginning of the sacred New Year.

Hinduism is an interesting, diverse, pluralistic religion more like an ancient philosophy that overlaps other religions and with western Science, psychology and spirituality.

Brahman describes the sum total of reality.  A vibrating energy field.

Ishvara to many Hindus is a name for God.

A brief study of the world's great religions suggests that each is unique, with its own specific insights and forms  of expression.  If what you believe creates an outlook that values the individual, and gives each one of us responsibilities, and the challenge that life has meaning which in turn can fill some of the emptiness that haunts every human being.

Supper at Sandy and Randy\s house last night then home for the hockey.  Michael John and Mary were very pleased with their results but both had sore feet.  They are coming over to help us today.  We have junk day and hopefully we can clear out the house a bit.  Dad is not a big fan but I hope he can see that this will prepare us for our next move and if you do not use something for several years why keep it.

So there were no horns honking on the streets last night.  I am finding it almost two stressful to watch and I hate it when some one gets hurt.

Does this dining room looked familiar?  Great dinner Randy even if dad called the chicken pork then roast beef.
