He is risen...
...He is risen indeed.
Ahh, Easter: my favourite holiday of the year...bigger than Thanksgiving, bigger than Hallowe'en, bigger than my birthday...heck, even bigger than Christmas. Before I became a believer, I loved easter because it's the day my mother would finally let me have Kinder Surprise (I was banned from Kinder Surprises at age 4 because I got the foily-wrap all over the living room...it's still a sore spot: I mean, come on, Mum, I was 4 years old!). I also loved decorating eggs. I remember one Easter when I was younger, I really wanted to decorate some eggs, but my mother didn't want any of the good produce to go to waste...so she gave me some rotten eggs instead.
I don't know what was grosser: the fact that they floated when I tried to boil them...bobbing up out of the boiling water like buoys 50 yards from shore...or the mess they made when they somehow managed to break open and ruin my chocolate the following morning...
But anyway, now that I'm a Believer, my attitude toward Easter has changed. In between gobbling down previously-banned chocolates and decorating rotten eggs, I've started to finally understand what Easter is really all about. I mean come on, the Risen Lord? How fantastic is that to celebrate?
Church was fantastic today. That was partially because I got baptized. I hope to relate more of that story to you next week!
Anyway, I just noticed the time, and it's past 1 in the morning. I woke up at 7 today too...after going to bed at like 3. I'm hoping to wake up before noon tomorrow...err, today...so I'd love to stay and chat but alas, duty calls.
My most humble and sincere apologies for not writing more frequently. I'd love to tell you that I gave up blogging for lent...but that would be a lie. I've just been busy studying/pretending to study. Plus I feel like there's nothing exciting to write about...and if I don't feel like writing, I shouldn't force it, should I?
I hope the faithful 64 of you who are now reading my blog can find it in your hearts to forgive me. Hey, just for hanging in there, I offer this fantastic video:
Cuz your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine...

Dear Spiffy Bacon Mice Moose and Milky Way
Sometimes you make me go sway
Once the soup ate me
Then he to get the tea.
Dont forget your socks
Great Blog!
