Enjoy Yourselves, Still


This week is Semana Santa in our house.

Holy week.

Bigger, brighter, more talk, more reading, more about our faith, the things we believe in, than the average household.

More jelly beans, more hidden Peeps, more Cadbury eggs. Larger baskets, more cleverly hidden (we use clues leading them to the baskets and so what if they're teenagers).

How Colombians do Easter. Now with more mandatory Easter viewing of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Yes, children do have to listen while mom sings along. And later in the week, I'll smile through proud tears as I overhear all three boys at one time or another singing to themselves, "I don't know how to love Him."

Happy Easter, a Blessed Passover, so many good wishes to you all for peace, love, rest, centering.

'Till next week.

  2. It makes me giggle (but in a good way) to think about Jesus Christ Superstar as holiday viewing--it's certainly an entertaining way to go about it, though!

    Hoppy Easter to you and yours!

  6. I love the Maundy Thursday service at our church, which ends with the altar being completely dismantled, the lights turned out, and the priest slamming the door shut, after which we depart in silence. There's a lot of power in that stillness.

    Happy Easter to you and yours!

  9. And a happy Easter to you.

    Try not to get worried, try no to hang onto problems that upset you. Don't you know, everything's alright now, everything's fine.

  10. Happy Easter my friend.
    PS. Peeps dilate eyes and give you super human powers to scale ceilings.

  16. OMG, JC Superstar! Back when I was a Freshman at Fordham College, I used to hang out with my friends singing along to the cast album. That and Hair and Godspell.

    I still love it, but I always skip over the 40 lashes bit--I don't attend church anymore, so I figure I can skip the graphic violence part.

  17. Hope you had a lovely Easter weekend. I'm catching up on all your stuff, your good, heartwarming, speak-to-my-soul stuff. Love you.
