It is Easter!

Some Easters feel more celebratory than others. After I've observed a more rigorous Lent, for instance. Or when I'm not still trudging through a spiritual desert. Or when my thoughts of celebration aren't crowded out by the anxiety of having all the kids all by myself all through the service. Reckless celebration depends on a lot of convenient factors.

But Easter is always, forever, joyful. It's a deep joy that isn't easily dampened, and one that's very contagious.

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Happy Easter!
