Easter

This is the first post from my new iPad...Not. More like iWish.
I didn't get to spend Easter with my family. So instead, I spent it with my 400 surrogate grandparents. I would have rather spent it with my real family, though. My family doesn't address me as "Waiter," or demand that I serve them lunch even though it's a self-serve buffet.
On the other hand, my family doesn't tell other people "he makes the best iced coffee you've ever had," or "he's from North Wilkesboro with all the moonshine and race cars." Give and take.
The only benefit to working a Sunday is that when the buffet gets broken down the staff is allowed to eat our fill. It's like putting a calf into a tank of piranhas. Today though, they didn't even make bacon or sausage; AND, they ran out of Eggs Benedict. Instead, I had to settle for Chicken Marsala and Easter Ham. How does the other half live?
Confession time: I tried giving up coffee for lent. I made it 22 days and then buckled. I had one roommate give up peanut butter, another give up chocolate, and still another give up meat. They all made it the full Forty (actually 44) days from Ash Wednesday til today without indulging. Right now we have all sorts of opened peanut butter jars, chocolate cakes, and four steaks on ye olde grill. It's shaping up to be an interesting evening in this house.
The Redskins just traded to get Donovan McNabb. Unreal.
Normally by now I'd have listened to the sermon from Flatirons by now but they haven't posted it yet. But, they did send out an interesting tweet on Friday evening that does a really good job of summing up the importance of today: "Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, is of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important." - C.S. Lewis.
Amen.
Yankees and Red Sox right now. Easter. Opening night. Amen.
