Practicing Resurrection
A couple of years ago it occured to me that we spend a lot of time in church talking about what practices to take on for Lent, but when Easter comes, the glorious season of resurrection, we slip back into our ordinary lives. Hopefully we arrive transformed by our Lenten journey, but the season of Easter is not just that amazing day when the tomb was discovered empty. We celebrate Easter for 50 days, days that grow longer and more brilliant as blossoming continues and we head toward the summer solstice. What might it mean to practice this resurrection in our everyday lives?
