If the religion and the whole Christian thing ain't yours, feel free to skip this episode, cause I'm 'bout to talk about Easter and the resurrection. If, however, you trust my voice, whether you espouse the Judeo-Christian traditions or not, there are nuggets of wisdom for all. Two things:

"Greater love has no man than he lay down his life for a friend" and "Be a doer of the law and not a judge." 

Pulled from the Bible, these two verses should guide our teaching. Our interactions. Our lives. If you can look forward to celebrating the resurrection Sunday but spend Saturday writing disparaging remarks on Facebook, are you really embodying the spirit of the resurrection? Is the old famous WWJD, now of meme fame, reflected in who you are at work? Or would students, faculty and staff call you the example of why they DON'T want to be a Christian?

REsurrection=REset. If you've made some choices that you are not proud of, this is a great opportunity to do better, to BE better. This is your chance to reshape your interpersonal interactions and lead with love. 

Here's to a new start.
