Believing
 
 
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whosoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life...those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.

The depth of your belief
and the strength of your conviction
determines the power of your personality.

He does not believe who does not live
according to his belief.

At the Butterfly Pavilion we saw many little critters besides butterflies.
 
See the butterfly?
We were there just in time for the butterfly release.
 
Caught!
 
David (who is English) and Danna invited us to an informal 
 Easter High Tea at their home.
Wonderful!!!
 
They also gave Junna a short lesson in glass cutting.

You can barely see the clock tower in the background
in front of the ski slope.
Alas.  Not much snow.
 
Lunch at Sweet Basil's.

We had to bid her farewell at the airport, after a wonderful visit!!!
Junna is off to visit more of her American relatives before she starts in April at 
ICU, the International Christian University in Tokyo.
 
 
 
 
There are two ways to slide easily through life:
to believe everything or to doubt everything;
both ways save us from thinking.

 Then the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord to take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live.” So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.
