In the lives of associates--whether they be families or quartets or followers of a person--there are watershed moments that occur, moments that indelibly change the course of the particular group of people.

One such event happened in February of 2003 in relation to AHQ. No less than two of our members began special relationships, one of which has already culminated in marriage.

It's easy to see some of the ramifications that this has had on the group. Priorities shift dramatically, logistics complicate significantly, and things are not as they were.

Now, at the risk of over-generalization, I think eveyone has had those experiences in which sleep is nearly impossible and when you do get to sleep you wake up the next morning and everything is different.

Today is Easter. This morning was so beautiful.

I was walking outside to the car to go to church, and I just stopped. I stopped and thought about what it must have been like for Jesus' associates the night that they found out that He was alive. Can you imagine the trouble they might have had going to sleep? And then waking up in the morning and realizing that it was real. That it wasn't a dream, that Jesus wasn't dead.

Can you imagine?

Everything changed for them. Everything was different.

The magnitude of that moment has never been equaled in the history of our world.

Let us never forget how it changed the course of history, and let us never forget how it has changed our lives.
