skipped Easter 2007 due to the hijinks of time zones, flying from Charlotte Douglas to Narita. After that miss, I promised myself that I'd be home and in church if at all possible for Christmas and Easter. This morning was beautiful. Virginia kept saying, "This is the day the Lord has made!" He is risen! Church was packed. The sermon prickled, which is what a sermon is supposed to do. You're supposed to feel a little uncomfortable in my estimation. Spending time with Virg is a reminder of what my grandpa said, "If you live, you're going to get old." And the Easter sermon was a reminder that frailty and death are NOT natural. God did not intend for us to suffer this way, but he allowed his son to die for us. This Easter functioned as an alarm clock for a busy day.
It was fun to see everybody in their Easter finery. It was good to spend time with my family. And we shopped for earrings, bracelets and necklaces from my sister's Nica hope jewelry. Fashion with a heart.
