Easter is...

Sweet Jesus Christ, my sanity.


Easter is hiding the eggs in the branches that are way to high for the kids to reach.
"Hey, can you get that egg for me up there? Thanks, Meggy!"


Easter is pretending to be excited for the Easter Bunny.
"Wow, how did the Easter Bunny know that I would think glee nail polish is funny?"
"He's magical..."


Easter is finding the most epic spot to hide the big silver egg.


Sweet Jesus Christ, my clarity.


Easter is getting to explain to someone what a Jell-o Egg is...


Easter is eating so many Jell-o eggs you start feeling nauseous.


Bread of Heaven, broken for me.


Easter is wearing nice clothes, just because it's Easter.
"You look nice in your Easter duds."
"Ha, I've only changed one thing since last year."
"Really?"
"Last year my tie was white, instead of blue. And you also look nice."


Easter is getting back to writing blog posts.


Cup of salvation, held up to drink.
Jesus, Mystery.

Easter is wondering if it's a bad thing to throw away the plastic cross from your cupcake.

Easter is when your cousins make fun of you, because you can drive now.
"I drove all the way to your house, and you weren't there to see it."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Did YOU hit my truck?"
"NO!!!"


Christ has died, and
Christ is risen...

Easter is having a casual conversation with a friend, and sometimes finding out what tweepop is.

Easter is seeing family. Even if you don't always feel included, and even if they don't always get along, you love them anyway.


and Christ will come again.


Easter is crying during "Christ is Risen" because the deeper meaning finally gets to you.


Easter is eating lunch with your grandmother and uncle, because you love them, even if it can be a little awkward.


Easter is when you know that God does care for you, no matter how bad it can get.


Easter is when you...


Celebrate his death and rising.
Lift your eyes.
Proclaim his come.
Celebrate his death and rising.
Lift your eyes.


Lift your eyes.
