Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, friends! In a throwback to childhood, I bought a new Easter dress, ate too many malted milk robin’s eggs, and had a hard time staying awake through the Easter Vigil.  And now I am, as always, enjoying a Church that loves the party more than the penance (though we know we need the penance ever some much) -- we are on Day Two of an eight day Sunday and have barely made a dent into the Easter season!  Having spent all of Lent (and especially Holy Week) pondering my own sinfulness, it is so beautiful to reach the season of “GOD IS BIGGER THAN MY SINS!” Not that He is not bigger than my sins in every season, at every moment, but the extent of His glory shines out in a special way during Eastertide.
