So, the name change of the blog might come as a shock because the previous name was so completely awesome that it literally shook the foundations of the earth. However, when it comes to envelopes I prefer to leave the pushing to somebody else. At least I lived on the wild side for a little while!
The weekend was pretty good. We got some cleaning done and did a little bit of hanging out. The weather was really great so we got the kids outside to let them thaw out from the cold weather we have had the past few months. I think that we all look like a family of vampires with pale skin and bloodshot eyes after being inside for such a long time. Hopefully we can begin the re-humanizing process over the next couple of weeks. Until then I will have to make sure we steer clear of wooden stakes and garlic.
We are in the third week of Lent and for the first time I feel that I am getting a good grasp on what the entire purpose of the season is. Easter is a big deal. I mean, a really big deal. It's like the birth of a child or the death of a loved one. If you spend any time thinking about it, you can realize the implications are far more reaching than birth or death. I think that is why we need so much time preparing for it. How can we appreciate the vastness of the victory unless we spend some time thinking about what has been defeated? If we go down into the valley of our own shortcomings and meditate on struggle we can have a much deeper appreciation for the top of the mountain. The air feels cleaner, the sun warmer, and the view more breath-taking.
Sorry for the serious post but I guess this is what has been on my mind.
