Yesterday we dyed our eggs and this morning at 7:15 am we released the screaming hordes into our chilly Easter backyard to hunt down 39 eggs. They were stuck to the side of the house, hanging from trees, camouflaged in the gravel or garden, and (a couple) in plain sight. I hope we didn’t wake the neighbors, but I’m pretty sure we were loud enough to do the job. In the end, they only found 38 eggs. Hm. Well, we’ll get back to it after church.

rock and roll church
Ok, I actually really dig the church I am a part of. Really. And just to show you why, here are the four best moments from this year’s Easter service, which was held under a giant filled-with-people tent in our parking lot:
1. When getting dressed this morning, I initially put on jeans, but suddenly decided to dress up in swingy black pants and a black turtleneck, and I was perfectly content because I knew that Not One Person would notice either way.
2. During worship, I stopped dancing for just long enough to tell the sound guys to pull down the volume on the entire band for fear the police would show up with riot guns. Now that’s a church that ain’t afraid to party.
3. And this was the best moment of all: Seeing the nearly endless stream of kids coming up for communion, two of whom rolled up on Heelys.
4. Hearing the baby dedication translated into Haitian Creole so the parents would understand everything.
Yeah.

I Got the Boys Candy Snakes Rather Than Candy Rabbits This Year
I don’t know, I was charmed by their predatory nature. Anyhow, rabbits have been done. Why aren’t there a plethora of chocolate creatures to choose from by now? I want a chocolate meerkat. And just imagine the white/dark chocolate possibilities! Zebras, skunks, killer whales. Little Stevie Wonder/Paul McCartney duos.
My inner child felt pretty smug about the snakes, too. They were vandal-proof. No ears.
