Easter post

19 of us stayed for an after-church, Sunday meal together. I had taken a chapter out of N. T. Wright’s book Following Jesus and preached on Revelation and Resurrection. We read all of the Gospel accounts of the glorious event before and during worship.

We got Good Friday off. And Monday is off too. That means as many people as possible leave town for a few days of peace and quiet. It’s the last chance for students to rest up for the study marathon that takes them to the end of the school semester. It’s a long grind for them.

Son 2 had 5 friends over for a Star Wars films plus video game all nighter. The goal was not to sleep a wink and drink as much Pepsi as possible. From what I understood, they only watched one Star Wars. Somehow Monty Python & THG, with Spaceballs and the Fantastic Four made it into the night’s viewing. Had I known, I would have voted “NI!!!”

For you Lincoln buffs out there, J. W. Booth shot the President on Good Friday, April 14, 1865. He died the following morning. Of course, this year, Good Friday fell on April 14.
