Prayer for today (3/23/16)

If you don't believe in the Resurrection, explain spring. A time when the cold hard ground yields up its dead and life begins anew. When again butterflies, dragonflies and fireflies take flight. When birds build in eager expectation of their new arrivals. Indeed, if you don't believe in the Resurrection, explain how things long thought dead yet live. John 11:25-26.
