easter sunday

i watched the sunrise this morning over the lake. i pondered what the sunrise looked like on the morning that Jesus rose. i like to think that the sun knew what day it was and was ready to shine far brighter than ever before and that the clouds just took the day off. i'm very sure the birds sang a much sweeter song that morning. never before had a day begun this way. i believe all of creation was up early and preparing for the moment.

oh . . . and I really doubt anyone was hiding colored eggs. i wish we hadn't done that to easter. just like christmas, easter is becoming far more insignificant than it should be. the two most important events in human history to date and all we have done is over commercialize them to a point of non-recognition. no wonder those who don't ascribe to judeo-christian beliefs don't take us seriously. we have diminished the message.
