Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

Today I have family things.

If you celebrate go and have a Happy Easter. If you don’t, go do something fun.

We’ll be back tomorrow, I promise.

  1. Hunkered down finishing the edits on an absolutely fantastic novel hopefully today.

    Been promised a completed manuscript from a different author dropped to me for the same treatment sometime today as well.

    Waiting patiently for a third author to stir her stumps and send me her magnum opus any day now.

    Life is good, and very interesting as described in that famous Chinese curse.

    No names have been used so as to protect the guilty.

    And may all here and those dear to you be blessed on this Easter Sunday and every day that follows.

      1. Am I damned* for always envisioning Jesus as Pillsbury Doughboy whenever I hear this phrase?

        Ironically, as much scholastic thought accords Jesus the symbol of the seder‘s afikomen, that piece of unleavened bread taken from the whole and hidden, to be later sought by the children of the family with much merriment. <BLOCKQUOTE>When the background of the afikomen is understood, its impact is enormous.   It speaks of the Messiah who came, was cut off and buried, brought back, and the finder of Him receives a gift.   This is the biblical portrait of the work of the Messiah which is developed in detail in Isaiah 53, and corresponds with the ritual of the afikomen in the Passover Seder. The only one in history who   fulfills this picture is Jesus.</BLOCKQUOTE>

        Of course, the unleavened bread, representative of the flight from bondage in Egypt, is made without  chametz, (sin? – of which the ritual cleansing from the household pre-Pesach is a great tzimmes) making the idea of bread’s rising … miraculous?

        *There are surely much greater reasons for my damnation.

  15. The homily today concluded, “Remember, the worst day wasn’t the last day.” I.E. things are often darkest before the dawn.

    He is risen, indeed. (Sorry, Orthodox folks, you’re still in Lent. But at least you get the Easter candy on sale tomorrow!) ;)

    1. Saw a sign on my Twitter feed which said: “He didn’t say, ‘I am finished.’ He said, ‘It is finished.’ He was just getting started.”

      I like that.

      A happy and blessed Easter to all.

  16. One of the worst things about growing old is not being able to buy extra Easter candy for yourself….can’t steal the kids, not on Easter. Now the kids are grown and moved on. Maybe stealing the kids candy on those past holidays is what made me diabetic? I do so miss Robins Eggs, Candy coated malted milk balls shaped like eggs what could be a better treat? No Peeps thank you although they are fun to put in the microwave and watch explode….

    May the blessings of the lord be on you and yours and peace and love fill your homes.

  18. Happy Easter! Drove up into Southern Maryland with my wife this afternoon to hit the Filipino bakery and Filipino fast food joint in Wheaton. Good to do once a year or so, says the wife. A thoroughly pleasant afternoon spent together.

  19. We went to see a play being produced by a friend of ours at the community theatre. The play was “The Play That Goes Wrong.” It was absolutely hilarious.

    Happy Easter to those who celebrate :)

      2. We had bacon, eggs, cinnamon toast, for brunch (closer to lunch).

        Then loaded up and went to the range. I scared the target a bit more this time. One of the range safety officers showed me a better way to hold so my hand wasn’t jerking. Did better. We also shot great uncles Winchester (hubby found 25-35 online $50/20-box x 3 plus shipping). Some bullets are tumbling so hubby is calling on a specialist. The Winchester was admired by those who were there (it is in physically good shape, but it has been shot a bit).

        Then we went canoeing and oops, again, into the deep six locker. Dang boating accidents.
