The Easter season is a second chance for all humanity. That is the sermon for everyone on this planet.

God wants a different future for the world, other than annihilation. There is enough money on the planet to elevate anyone living in poverty. Universal health care is affordable, despite the crippling opinion of corporations. Education and literacy are rights.

Drinkable water is not a luxury. Breathable air is not passé. Our planet home is not a garbage dump; wealthy nations can no longer call it recycling by sending trash to others. There really is no such place as “throwing it away.”

God placed humanity on this blue marble in the dark ether of space in the green zone for life, our lives. Easter announces the second chance for all humanity; turn around and ask for forgiveness. We need this second chance time and again.
