Easter Thoughts

Some thoughts on things related to Easter.

Sunrise Service was invented by a masochist, not a sadist. The person who comes up with the idea has to attend or else it has no merit.

Easter Egg Hunts, why? I understand it can be fun for kids--provided no other kids are stealing eggs from them. Why does anyone not involved care? It's a bunch of kids running around finding poorly hidden eggs or looking for eggs that are two inches in front of their faces.

Another thing. If you're hiding Easter Eggs, don't just drop them on the ground or put them on the grill of someone's car. By the same token, don't take a page from my book and use a shovel to hide eggs; it doesn't work well.

What determines the date Easter takes place anyway? It seems almost random to me.

Finally, I put the jokes aside for my last thought. Jesus--he died for our sins. That's what the book says. No "ifs", "ands", or "buts." Repent and have faith, you're in. Have peace and try to make the world better in his name, not a problem. Big into [fill in the blank religion]; that's ok too. The sacrifice is for everyone, no exceptions.

Dwell on that one, if you like, but that's what I think.
