Just a post

I thought I ought to post so that others could not call me a hypocrite. We have been enjoying our week. Days start off slowly with cartoons in the mix. Then they rev up to school, running around town for activities, and preparations for Easter. This year I get to cook the Easter meal. Can you believe that I've never cooked a ham before? Any suggestions for the perfect ham? Well, I'm sure it will be hard to attain PA standards, but I will try my best. Last night we participated in our church Seder. Emily was really looking forward to it. She understands the background of the whole process. She keeps giggling about the fact that we have pizza at the end. "I still don't know what pizza has to do with it", she says with an 8 yr old all knowing smirk. Eric liked the matzo. We had 150 people attend! Tonight we will go back to church for a more somber service. I always like this time of year. It is refreshing how God uses this remembering time to laden our souls with the truth. I can't walk one step without remembering. And I've noticed many friends and acquaintances experiencing something similar. Christian friends have commented on feeling a fresh introspection. And one acquaintances commented that she feels like she is missing something. Now that is the beginning of a new hope! Although I am lamenting not being in PA this season, I feel good about being home. There is feeling of connection to my neighbors and friends, and I sense opportunity. Much love to you all.
