Easter is a celebration of man overcoming his human behavior, dying to all indications of his animal instincts and becoming the image and likeness of the living God. America is an Easter experience of human life. White men and black men, convicts and settlers were all given a chance to rise up from the ashes of death into the Spiritual and reality vision of a new people and a new world.
Our religions and our country should teach the joy of the human spirit. What makes America great is not the history of her tragedies but the survival of her tragedies. America is a loving and compassionate country inspite of her racism, violence and crazy behavior of some of her people.
