Easter: What Does it Mean?

A Poem

Emylou
Easter: The questions of a child:

"What does Easter mean?"
"The day Jesus rose and went to Heaven?"

"Why did he go to Heaven?"
"Because He loves us so!"

"Why does He love us?"
"Because He created us"

"Why did He create us?"
"Because He thinks we're awesome."

"Even when I am bad, does he think so?"
"Yes, no matter what Jesus still loves us."

"Do you still love me, even when I'm bad?"
"?"

Something to think about: Do we let others know we love them even when "they're bad"? Or do we feel like we're broken. Do we think we should show people we care only when "they're good?"

Maybe, people who are "bad" need love the most. Maybe, there are times we don't have to like what people do, we just have to love them.

Another question: do you think you deserve love only when you're "good"? Do you feel like you have to work hard to be "good" so others will love you?

Something to think about this Easter and everyday.

    I've got the line from the "Ham and Bubbly" skit from the repeat of SNL last night in my mind, "He's holding me captive!"

    I think I'll always return to the phrase origin articles. Sometimes, I just need a break, though. I want to get back into the groove of my daily articles, too, but I'm just not there for some reason.

    Got a call from the Equal Employment complaint thing from the Census today b/c of my filed complaint. Honestly, I hope to get a job again, but as an enumerator - that'd be much better and not suck the life out of me like that office job did!
