Him, as a Pastor, is plagued by all the to-do's to put this Holiday function on, when in reality - HIS resurrection should be a big deal every day! Yes, there is something to celebrating the one moment in history. But I live in freedom each day because of that one moment. That deserves honor, respect, reverence, and reflection each and every day.<br/><br/>Did you follow any of that???<br/><br/>All that to say...yup, I agree!

I have much more solemnly celebrated communion lately with my community. I am just as broken and caught in a struggle to live out this Christianity as the next guy...but remembering how God put on skin and paid our immense debt is something that should be on our minds daily. <br/><br/>I attended a huge Episcopalian church downtown with a handful of friends on Sunday morning, mostly because we were intrigued by the architecture and the traditional liturgy. I noticed my friend Brandon and I were both staring up at the architecture and stained glass windows during the service. It reminded me of the God is truly awe-inspiring, to be reflected not only in our buildings but in our lives, as living, breathing, moving sanctuaries of His presence and glory. <br/><br/>:) All that aside, it sounds like you guys had a great Easter!
