Happy Easter and Other Ponderings

It's Easter today. HAPPY EASTER!

It's also my birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Do you know what I did on the day these two monumentous occasions collided? I slept and ate high cholesterol. Wooo! Don't you go getting jealous!

I got up really early so I could go to church to set up some stuff for the early service. I was so tired I could hardly stay awake during the preaching. When I came home I changed into sweats and went straight to bed. I was in dreamland before my husband could even leave the room. About an hour later Baby Girl came to wake me up because she had made crepes with strawberries and homemade whipped cream as a present to me. I ate and went straight back to bed for three hours! Then I got up and watched a movie with the family as I laid on the bed, of course. I ate KFC chicken and a slice of Little Caesar's pizza for supper, now I'm blogging, and then guess what I'm doing. Just guess! I'm going to bed again. Just can't seem to get enough sleep.

I guess this is how people celebrate when they get my age. They take double naps and have a cholesterol fest. Wooo, what a party!

Speaking of my age, I'm 44. Last night I decided to look up that number to see if it has any spiritual significance. One site said it meant "suffering". Oh yay, I'm so looking forward to that! Then I decided to stick with just looking up the number 4 and doubling it. That means this year is a double dose of the universal judgment of God. Wow! It just keeps getting better doesn't it? Would it work if we just added 4+4=8? Eight, now there's a good number. It means new beginnings. I think what God is trying to tell me is that when you reach 44 it doesn't matter what it means because all you have to look forward to is napping and high cholesterol chicken. 

So, that is how I spent Easter. Jesus rose from the dead, but I couldn't get out of bed. See why I need Him so much?
