[+] Good Friday was awesome, especially the evening service with the youth. They did an awesome job of presenting the Passion story according to Luke. The girl reading the part of Jesus even memorized some of her lines. (We’re a little short on boys in the group, OK? Besides, she’s an awesome reader.)

[+] As grinchy as I felt about having to get up at dark:30 to make the fruit for Church #2 and having to attend all 3 services (!!!!), everything went well on Easter Sunday. Worship was decent and the time with my extended family afterward was wonderful. I saw relatives and cousins that I hadn’t seen in 3-7 years and there was also good food.

[+] Just a tip from a fellow clergy wife: head cheese is not an acceptable hostess present, especially when it is re-gifted. Just sayin’.

[+] Fernando Ortega’s latest CD is awesome beyond words. I need to be on his mailing list or something. Just put myself on his mailing list so that I can go stalk see him perform if he’s ever anywhere within travelling distance.

[+] The weather lately has me doubting the truth of global warming.Â? I mean, I know it’s happening and I’m doing stuff to petition the government to stop ignoring it but… dude, it’s freaking below 32F and snowing here IN APRIL!!!!!!Â? (Could someone please give the Paxil back to Mother Nature????)
