Easter Sunday

Christ is risen.

Christ is risen indeed.

But on my Easter Sunday it's snowing and I'm working. In part I'm not averse to working on Sundays. At this point in my life it's painful to go to worship services. I still feel called to work in the ministry and in my love for sermons and worship. Yet since I have been out of the pulpit it is painful to worship in the congregation. Still, Easter Sunday and Passion Week are the most important events of the church year and I miss them even as I know it would hurt to go.

Christ is risen indeed. But the transformation of each Christian is still ongoing. I will continue to pray and work for that new earth that is coming into being.
