Happy Easter everyone. The incontrovertible and undeniable fact of the resurrection is here once again, and there is no getting away from it. I have trouble, in my scrupulous soul, recognizing that its supposed to happen to me as well. I always fall into the trap of thinking I am somehow capable of redeemng myself, thus sparing
God the enormous trouble. So today, in my helplessness, I am trying not to take hold of the reigns and drive the whole thing off the track.
Depressives like me think we caused our own depression and are responsible for ridding ourselves of it. No dice, however. And Easter is hard for me, not because of the Easter part,but because it is all too good to be true when you're down here in the mud. But it is,anyway,too good. It will all be a surprise, a magnificent surprise. I read a lot about the Second Coming and the redemption of the created world, which seems to be the whole point of the thing. Remember Heaven, Christians, and keep your eyes on the prize,not on making some little ersazt paradise on earth. This is the world of the perishables.
On that odd note....
