“Will no one stay awake??? Peter? John? James?”
Sung smoothly and almost eerily to a smooth and vivid tune, Jesus asks these words. Yet, how often do we everyday people experience something similar to this? The ones we love and who love us not supporting us in what we are doing, not for lack of effort or care, but for lack of realizing that merely their presence and attention would have made all the difference in the world in our having felt supported.

To finish up the Easter, I share what my mom shared with me this morning.
‘Kay, go for your Easter Egg Hunt. There’s one egg. It’s hidden already.’
‘…Wha..?’ I frown at her.
She wiggles like a puppy that can’t sit still, and I know for sure that something is up, and that she’s about to break.
She laughs, and I know I’m getting it, whatever it is, now. ‘That’s what R- said. Because it’s April Fools, tell the kids, ‘Okay, kids. Go look for your Easter Eggs now!’ but don’t actually have any hidden.’
‘That’s terrible,’ I say as I join her laughter, shaking my head.
Happy Easter, and Happy April First!
P.S. Did you see John Legend and that gloriously surprising cast tonight? More importantly, did you HEAR them?! Check it out. It was fab. Jesus Christ Superstar Live 🙂
