Happy Easter!

At church yesterday, we went up as a congregation and added flowers to the cross that hangs in the sanctuary. When it was done, it looked totally alive, in part because of the haphazzardness of the flowers, but in part because of the long stems that let the flowers shoot out from the cross at crazy angles.

I hope that your Easter was full of life at crazy angles--beauty and joy that take you by suprise. The good news for Easter is--while the world may have a grip on death-power, God is the one who gives life--even new life--to us!

Happy Easter!
