Easter joy '04
Tuesday, April 13, 2004
Our church held five services this weekend with full orchestra for each one; it was beautiful. Some jazzy efcn classics, some good ol' hymns, and "michael's multimedia masterpiece" in which we were accompanied by synthesized instrumentation and scenes from The Passion. Somewhere in the middle of all the glory, God reminded me to focus on Him and His perfect will instead of on myself. Which is important, because when I dwell only on my own thoughts and feelings, I get sucked down easily, especially since I'm the more cynical type. I renounced my plans to write my Vindication of the Condition of Woman, deciding instead to perhaps write from the opposite angle ^_~. God is good!
Between services, we played a Lord of the Rings edition of RISK which was rather gratifying--my type of game >D. It's interesting to see how people are when they're waging war against each other. More SkipBo, complete with wailings and shouting and that kind of drama that looks a little strange over a kiddy card game ;). And what else. There was that perfect Easter sunset the night before; almost fake hues of pink and purple. It was a good one.
Earlier today, working in the warehouse helping with mailings, I asked some people what interesting things God had shown them lately. Katie said that no matter how busy you get, God must still be first. This gets to be especially true when you are tempted to skip spending personal time with Him. Peter noted that we should pray for others, as Paul exorts in Philippians. So those are some thougnts.

Hmm if only it were that easy. Well, there must be good things in being old as well. Not to mention I should up a quotes page one of these days. Ok.
