1 Corinthians 1:21-25 says:
For since in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

Maybe you didn’t notice, but this week is spring break. The lack of the big yellow buses on the roads is a dead giveaway. But if you are a parent, and especially if you are in school yourself, you know that this week is spring break.
Spring break is a hopeful taste of summer after a long dreary winter. Spring break reminds us that there is sunshine after the rain, rest after hard work, and the hope of summer ahead.

Today’s text is Luke 9:18-25:

The other morning I went out to walk the dog. It was still dark, but clear and cold. Overhead thousands of stars glittered in the darkness, shining out the glory of God’s creation.
And then I noticed something amazing, the ground around me was covered with frost and somehow a little light was catching in that frost just right. It looked as if I was walking on a shimmering bed of diamonds flashing in the grass. All around me, overhead and even underfoot, were glistening points of light shining out in the darkness.
