Post-Lent Thoughts …
I can’t really believe Easter has already come and gone. It seems like the month of March just flew by and April is already almost half-way over. Where is the time going? Just this past Sunday, on Easter no less, I realized that our taxes were due in a few days. Yikes! I kept on thinking are we so busy that I’m just living day by day not realizing what point in time I’m actually in?
Growing up in the church we attend there wasn’t much emphasis on giving up anything for Lent. It wasn’t until a visiting Pastor sorta brought that idea up to our congregation as well as witnessing how a Catholic co-worker of mine gives up coffee each year. And he loves his coffee. Every so often something will come across my mind to give up such as giving up eating meat. That was hard. This year post-election political commentating I figured I should lay off that for awhile. So much angst seeing idiotic decision making. I definitely would say there were some interesting things that happened during Lent but oh well. I wanted to concentrate on happier more positive things. Whether that was true or not that was the plan. No political commentating during Lent. For the most part I think God helped me see a brighter side to our politicians.
Plus Easter was nice. Got to spend time with my side of the family. Our church was mentioned in the Washington Post and for a brief moment of time our picture was on the front page of the WashingtonPost.com site. Chewy was amazed that I gave my name to the photographer since I like to keep a extremely low profile. I just felt that if there was a moment to glorify God then this could be one of them. To not be paranoid about keeping a low profile but being joyfully open about my faith and the work God is doing in D.C. – it just seemed the right thing to do.
Hopefully, this is just a gateway for those in the area to have a place to worship our Savior. It’s not about CCC but His church.
I wonder if it’s too late to look for discounted Easter candy. Need to feast on some bunny ears.
