Easter Seder Part 3
The Story of Passover During this time Exodus 12:1-13 is read with brief comments and with the elements held up at the appropriate moment.

Earlier tonight I was thinking about how critical support is to dreaming. Without my husband’s consistent and demonstrated support, I wouldn’t be writing. It would be an ember of a dream rather than a reality. Every time I would think about writing, start fixating on the hunger to do something special with words, my husband…

Yesterday I shared with you the beginning of the Christian Seder my family has during the Easter weekend. We try and have this on Good Friday to reminisce about the “Last Supper”, but sometimes have it on Saturday. We reserve Sunday for a relaxing time of Church and casual dinner. Though this year with my…

I found this cool book meme blog. I might be late with this meme, but here it is… Where do you do most of your reading? Your favorite spot? (Show a picture, if you want to!) Answer: My favorite place to read is anywhere there is peace and quiet which is usually in bed, but…

I’m sick of the way they portray Born Again Christians on TV dramas and sitcoms. Law and Order is a great show, but they got it wrong. Then again, if they didn’t have a wack-o Born again Christian who murdered someone for religious reasons, it wouldn’t have had that Law and Order twist. This Born…
