| CHUCKLE A child asked his father, "How were people born?" So his father said, "Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on.“ The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now." The child ran back to his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied, "No, your mom was talking about her side of the family."

Toe Pilatus vir Jesus onder kruisverhoor geneem het, sê hy: “Het jy miskien vergeet dat ek jou hier vry kan laat uitstap as ek wil? Of as ek wil, kan ek jou hier buite aan ’n kruis laat ophang tot jy dood is.” (Joh. 19:10) Wat Jesus hom antwoord is vir my so aangrypend en wys so duidelik dat Jesus se kruisdood God se verlossingsplan vir die mensdom was. “Jesus sê toe: Jy sou niks aan My kon doen as God dit nie so wou gehad het nie.” (Joh. 11:11) God wíl dit so hê. Het Jesus nie enkele ure tevore in die tuin gebid: “laat U wil geskied” nie? God wíl die sondige mensdom red. Hy wíl ons met Homself versoen. Hy wíl die muur van sonde wat daar tussen ons en Hom is afbreek. Hy wíl dit deur Jesus doen. Dit is nie Pilatus wat Jesus kruis toe gestuur het nie. Dis nie Pilatus wat Hom skuldig bevind het nie. Dis God. Dit was sy wil. Dit was Sy plan. Dis vir my en jou. “Hy is gewond as gevolg van ons opstand teen God. Hy is doodgemaak omdat ons sonde gedoen het. Hy moes die prys betaal wat ons lewe kon herstel .... die Here het al ons sonde op Hom laat neerkom ... die Here wou gehad het dat Hy in ons plek geslaan moes word en in ons plek seerkry.” (Jes. 53:5-10) Dis waaroor ek in hierdie Paastyd diep en opreg dankbaar is

Nicholas Sparks returns with a moving new novel about an injured army doctor and the two women whose secrets will change the course of his life. Trevor Benson never intended to move back to New Bern, North Carolina. But when a mortar blast outside the hospital where he worked as an orthopedic surgeon sent him home from Afghanistan with devastating injuries, the dilapidated cabin he'd inherited from his grandfather seemed as good a place to regroup as any. Tending to his grandfather's beloved bee hives while preparing for a second stint in medical school, Trevor isn't prepared to fall in love with a local, yet from their very first encounter, Trevor feels a connection with deputy sheriff Natalie Masterson that he can't ignore. But even as she seems to reciprocate his feelings, she remains frustratingly distant, making Trevor wonder what she's hiding. Further complicating his stay in New Bern is the presence of a sullen teenage girl, Callie, who lives in the trailer park down the road. Claiming to be 17, she works at the local sundries store and keeps to herself. Discovering that she was once befriended by his grandfather, Trevor hopes Callie can shed light on the mysterious circumstances of his grandfather's death, but she offers few clues until a crisis triggers a race that will uncover the true nature of Callie's past, one more intertwined with the elderly man's passing than Trevor could have ever anticipated. In his quest to unravel Natalie and Callie's secrets, Trevor will learn the true meaning of love and forgiveness... and that in life, to move forward, we must often return to the place where it all began

| UIT DIE HART VAN Wonder jy ook soms oor Elkeen voeg tog waarde by. EVA goed? Dagdroom jy nog? Die verskil? Jou persoonlike Wonder jy soms oor die doel van die lewe? Iemand sê nou die dag in ‘n gesprek hulle dagdroom glad nie. Dit is vir kinders. Die lewe is hard en lelik. Wie het dan nog tyd om te droom? Sal ek nou maar eerlik wees of forever hold my peace? Nee wat sêg ek. Ek droom te lekker en wonder nog oor baie goed. En so het die gesprek my gebring tot by vandag se rubriek. Wat ís ons doel op aarde? Gewoonlik as jy die vraag vra gryp almal na die Skrif of gaan Google gou ‘n oulike quote en ander probeer jou van hulle filosofiese redenasies oortuig. Sonder om my te wil antwoord gun my asseblief die geleentheid om nou self hieroor te wonder. Het jy al agter gekom as jy iets vra staan almal gereed met ‘n antwoord. Niemand is meer bereid om te sê hulle weet nie. Met ander woorde, al die onbeantwoorde vrae het nou antwoorde? Al die wonder is op gewonder en die drome is by die venster uit? Is ons bevraagtekening nou dood?
begrip van doel! En Eva wonder! Sommer so oor die Joneses, die ‘hulle’ van wie almal altyd praat, oor armoede, die grootbek sonder ‘n filter, natuurrampe, die boelies, die meisie in die hoek by ‘n dans, ek wonder oor kinders en tandekry en soms wonder ek oor Job – geduldige ou Job. Al soekend na waarheid verslind ek boeke, luister na ander se idees, verwerp dit soms. Ek leef, ek lag, ek huil, ek skryf, ek kry seer en soms maak ek
seer. Ek droom, ek glo, ek vertrou, ek wantrou. Ek vorm opinies en verander dit weer. Ek gee soms op, probeer dan weer. Ek kyk binnetoe en ek grawe. Soos in die Biologie klas van ouds dissekteer ek myself, sit by en neem weg. Ek ondersoek. Ek groei! Groei is dan só belangrik en soms is dit ook OK om te sê: “Ek weet nie. Ek verstaan nie.” Ons is net mense! Ons is geregtig op ‘n bietjie droom, ‘n bietjie wonder! En dalk is die doel van die lewe die liefde. Om jou medemens te dien. Of dalk is dit net om te soek wat jou gelukkig maak en dan daarby te hou. Ons elkeen vorm maar ons eie opinie. Alles is nie in ons beheer nie! Ek wil leer en leef en droom en bevraagteken tot ek so dood is dat ek nie meer kan nie. Om af te sluit. Die groot geleerde Albert Einstein het eenmaal gesê, “Verbeelding is belangriker as kennis. Kennis is beperk. Verbeelding kring reg om die wêreld.” Kom ons wonder maar so saam hieroor ook… Eva. – Hannetjie Brooks Sluit aan op ons blad op Facebook

One Curious Little Detail in the Easter Story BY MICHEAL KELLY
There's a detail in the Gospel of John that not only describes Jesus' resurrection, it helps us see it. What does it look like to rise from the dead? Society's Idea of Resurrection We've all seen the TV dramas in the operating room when the heart monitor suddenly goes flat with the ominous and unceasing tone. Then the shock paddles are brought in and the formerly and technically dead person is brought back to life. Maybe it's like that—jolts of electricity running through the body. Or maybe it's the way most of us feel on a particularly early morning when the alarm clock goes off. We jump out of sleep, but as we switch the near blinding light on, it takes a few moments to rub the sleep out of our eyes. We have a sense of weakness in our hands and fingers as the blood starts to get going again, until we can eventually stagger to the bathroom to turn on the shower. Maybe it's like that, only greater—we need a couple of hours to regain control of our faculties and get some strength to just sit up. What Really Happened on Easter Morning? Something tells me that Jesus didn't stumble out of the tomb. Something tells me He didn't cough and gurgle, or need the blood flow to return to His extremities on Easter Sunday morning. Sure, His death was messy. Undignified. Bloody. Gruesome. Embarrassing even. But His resurrection? That was different.
Can't you just see it? I love the fact that John, right in the middle of his Easter morning account, drops a little detail into the narrative that not only describes the resurrection of Jesus, but helps us see it. Feel it. We see Mary coming to the tomb—hopeless and despondent, her faith dying with Jesus. We hear the night sounds starting to fade as the sun begins to rise. We sense the stillness—even the emptiness—of the air. We see her tears and feel the crushing weight of her even greater grief as she discovers in the darkness of the morning the stone rolled away. We hear her shrill cries as she sobs out her testimony to Simon Peter and John that grave robbers have come and stolen the body. One Curious Little Detail Then comes the running. We hear the panting. We feel the hot breath. We see the younger of the two outrun the older. Then, by the first rays of light, we see along with, first, John and then Peter, that the tomb is indeed empty. That's when we get the detail: "The wrapping that had been on His head was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a separate place by itself" (John 20:7). It's a curious little detail to include, don't you think? John was there; he saw the whole thing. It's possible that the memory was so ingrained into him that he wanted to record every last detail. But maybe too, buried in this little detail, is a commentary about the nature of the risen Lord. Jesus was raised to life, and when He was, He took on the dignity befitting
Him. He simply got up in an unhurried manner. Like the Lord of All Creation that He is, He took a few moments to put things in order, even going so far as doing something like making His bed. Jesus didn't stagger and stumble, bleary-eyed and numb from the coils of death; He rose as a conquering hero. And He strode out of the tomb like He owned the place. Because He does. Out of Death and Into Life This is not like the resurrection of Lazarus whom Jesus pulled out of death. Just a few chapters earlier in this Gospel, he came out of the grave "bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth" (John 11:44). Jesus Himself gave the order to "loose him and let him go" because Lazarus couldn't do it himself. Jesus took a few moments to give us a little glimpse into the fact that centuries before the cross and the tomb, creation was broken by sin. It was set in a spiral of disorder where up was down and left was right. Everything was flipped on its head, but when He stepped out of the tomb, He announced to that broken creation that He was setting everything back the way it was always supposed to be.Out of disorder and into order. Out of death and into life. Out of brokenness and into wholeness. And maybe that reordering started with that simple act of taking what might have otherwise been a wrinkled, tattered mess and folding it up neatly. Then He walked out into the light …

Dirk kyk weg " Dink net dis al" "Is dit liefde?" Dirk word rooi 'Dalk" Zani se nuuskierigheid wys duidelik op haar gesig. "Dalk..Dalk! dis goeie nuus ek is so bly! Begin dink jy is 'n hasie!" Dirk verstik aan sy koffie ' ...'n mof! ek! Is jy gerook?" Zani lag "Vertel my van jou dalk!' "Nee, wat jy moet wag tot die dalk iets meer permanents word. Genoeg van my wat van jou en Jacques?"
