HAPPY EASTER

And God bless us, everyone!

-----

Every once in a while, a movie will come around and become an instant top ten nominee. Yes, a top ten "ever" nominee. And Danny Boyle's Millions did just that. I had average expectations at best, but no more than five minutes into the movie, I got the feeling that it might be quite agreeable. Agreeable to my soul, even. Now, I hardly expect it be that exceptional for everyone, but I'm confident that it's a family friendly crowd pleaser. So go see it!

Epicentre likes to hold Easter service at people's homes, so we celebrated in La Canada. It was a casual time, perfectly fitting today's sunny weather and optimistic sky. Because amid the ducks and bunnies, Easter is, at heart, a hopeful day. A day when life doesn't just postpone death, but renders it impotent. And for that I'm eternally grateful.

From MarkDRoberts:
Christ the Lord is risen today,
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heavens, and, earth, reply.
