Easter

my sister in law is busting her brains trying to figure out what to do for her children this easter. an easter egg hunt? chocolate eggs? coloring eggs? easter bunnies? or maybe the sunrise service on the beach?

despite being a self avowed dedicated christian, it has occurred to me that easter has a way of totally creeping by me every year without much fanfare or attention.

i know, i know. when i get to church,  the pastor usually talks about how easter is the most important holiday for christians, and i couldn’t agree more with him on an intellectual level.  More often than not though, my concerns on easter morning still revolve around getting ready for church in time and making sure i know what dress i will put on.

when did i get so cynical about what matters most?

Christ died and rose again for 1 reason only. to save me from a life of destruction and hell and to bring me into fellowship with the Father.

there is nothing ho hum about it.

it’s the most radical awe inspiring truth known to mankind.

it’s the most radical awe inspiring truth known to me.

and this year, i can’t wait for easter.
