1.Today is Holy Thursday, as part of our preparation for Easter Sunday we will commemorate the Last Supper in a special way at church tonight. First we will read Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14, Psalms 116:12-13, 15-18, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, and John 13:1-15. Then the priest will wash the feet of some of the parishioners ( in a parish as larges as ours it would be impractical for everyone to have their feet washed so usually it is members of various volunteer groups). It is a time for us to reflect on the importance of the Holy Eucharist and on our service to one another (and the world at large) as brothers and sisters in Christ in imitation of our Savior. The altar is stripped bare and the statues removed, we depart in silence, all that is left is the core of our faith: Christ crucified for our sins to rise again on Easter Sunday morn defying death and becoming our salvation.
2. We are hosting Easter Sunday supper this year, which means Nana and I will be frantically trying to get the house "company clean".
3. The weather was so nice today, Nana and the Bumper spent the whole afternoon outside.
4. I opened all the windows to let in the Springtime air and drive out the mustiness of winter.
5. There will be very little crafting or writing getting done over the next few days unless I am determined to get up very early or go to be very late.
