But isn’t that what Easter is? God’s gift of love that permits us, nay requires us, to deepen our hearts for others?

Less so in the sense that I proved her—or anyone else—wrong…but that I can surprise even myself with how far I can go if I put my mind to something.

Looking out for number one, as I often say. But we’re called to do good. Good for ourselves, yes. But good for those around us.

Y’all, it’s Day 2 of Lent. Why am I already asking myself this question? Let’s examine…

Easter has been a marker of mourning in my mind, whether I care to admit it or not. But my fear was subsided when I realized I’ve been in Easter much longer than this Sunday.

We’re not meant to figure it out. We’re meant to partner with this magnificent force that guides us toward greatness. ​And take everything else for what it’s worth: God’s will.

Uplink reflection, I realize just now powerful humility is, not because we must be willing to clean our loved-ones of their impurities (both physical and emotional, of course). More than anything, it’s the acknowledgment that these people still love and accept you despite your transgressions.

As is the case with all humor, there is truth in each statement under the guise of sarcasm. So why do I casually tarnish the most important holiday of our faith?

Weeping through most of the movements, I was faced with my own sin and how similar it feels to that of those who crucified Jesus. Just a casual Tuesday night, as it goes.
