Good Morning,
Not a lot of sleep for me last night. I am not even sure that Door County Country Morning Blend Coffee is going to work to wake me up.
Matthew 27:65-66 "Take a guard". Pilate answered. "Go and make the tomb as secure as you know how. So they went and made the tomb secure, by putting a seal on the stone and posting a guard.
Last night my brother and I volunteered to be part of a drama that lasts for three days. A local church where I used to be a member puts on a drama starting Good Friday and ends Easter morning. The drama depicts the crucifixion of Jesus, his burial, and the resurrection. The tomb where Jesus is laid is guarded by men wearing Roman Soldiers costumes. They stand three hour shifts 24/7 until Sunday morning. Our shift, which we asked for was from 10:PM Friday until 1:AM Saturday. There are certainly less people showing up to ask questions or pray after 10:PM.
We both consider it an honor and privilege to serve and partake of the drama. We had a small fire to keep us warm.
My point for the day is this. Not too much happens on the Saturday before Easter. Good Friday is already in the past. So today, the day in-between, use this day to prepare for Sunday. Lay out your clothes for Sunday as well as clothing for the kids. Go to bed early and rise with enough time to pray and get the family going. Be on time for church! Plan ahead.
Set an example for the family by being prepared to be on time. This sets the precedent for them in the future.
Get the most out of your Easter, by making it important enough to be on time!
God bless,
Marty
