The Resurrection had the final say.

The Dark Side of Nostalgia
If we’re not careful, nostalgia can make us forget that all good things come from God.

Let’s celebrate and embrace every sincere attempt at a fresh start, especially our own ones.

We will one day succeed because he has already succeeded.
