This time next week, I'll be finished with my thesis, and binding it. And trying to restrain myself from decorating the cover with tiny illuminations and gold-leaf decorations ( Read more... )

You Carry Easter Along With You volksmarchinguy March 24 2008, 23:34:50 UTC

Best wishes as you proceed with all the busyness surrounding you at this time.

Your enthusiasm is contagious. You express a zest for life and I appreciate your sharing here.

wow! "carrying Easter along with"...that is profoundly _right_, and theologically accurate, as well as lovely. May I steal that for my own writing sometime, if I give you a footnote?

Re: You Carry Easter Along With You volksmarchinguy March 26 2008, 21:47:41 UTC

You may use that phrase without the footnote. As Christians we are Easter people. The spirit has been kept alive by Christians carrying Easter (the Spirit) with them in their daily lives.

You exemplify such a spirit-filled soul that I was moved to use that phrase.

Best wishes with your effort to complete your thesis.

Do we have to decide the where before we decide the when? redbaydreamer March 25 2008, 21:54:13 UTC

Your excitement is contagious. When I read what you wrote I just had to smile. I hope you at least put illuminations on your personal copy for posterity, it would add so much. I loved the "doing it all at once" from dying Easter eggs to watching feet or was it the other way around. Good luck this week.

Do you mean where will be the wedding? We're thinking St. Louis--it's so much more _affordable_, and more centrally located, and surrounded with great personal history. Please remind me to share the story of the first night M. and I kissed, and he _fell asleep in my car_ as I drove him home, and I drove down to the Arch, in hopes that the energy of his favorite landmark would somehow _wake him up_ so I could keep talking to him...

My whole Lenten calendar was thrown off this year. I had the Catholic chaplain at the hospital put an ashen cross on my forehead on Ash Wednesday, which was the day after Aisla was born. We didn't go to church at all until Easter Sunday, and then we sat way up in the balcony, because L. didn't want to attract too much attention (and have too many people with possible flu viruses fawning over our baby). We did read a little scripture on Good Friday. I had saved the candle from the Christmas Eve candlelight service and lit it as we read. But I, like you, like the Maundy Thursday parts better. The whole Peter-Rooster thing.

Wedding planning: so exciting!
