I only learned today that it is Good Friday here. Watching the news, there was a story from the Philippines and then I realized I had almost missed Easter once again. It was a disturbing news story. There are people there who actually re-enact the crucifixion. Yes, there are other countries that do this, but in the Philippines there are people who actually have themselves nailed to the cross and hung for the day. Their reason seems to be that it brings them good luck for the year. I guess you could call it good luck for the year. The year looks pretty good after that day no matter what happens, right? However, not really sure how one would celebrate Easter in a muslim country??
Here is something I found amusing
from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.
