Seasons Come and Seasons Go

Funny how the Easter season is now past. Just as March Madness is also complete and not to return until next year. The Resurrection and its hope are so conveniently shelved along with the baskets, easter grass, and decorations. As a member of the institutional church, I used to rail against the commercialization that seemed to diminish the importance of the season. Invariably, I would shelve the season along with everyone else, only secure in my self-justifications that I was one of the few who understood and observed the season with proper reverence.

 

Now, I find no season able to contain the hope of the resurrection, no shelf able to remove it out of my thoughts until the season returns. Every moment of my life inexplicably joined, entwined, infused, with his resurrection life. I find that I no longer identify with the season as I did before.

Older posts

As you can see, I don't have all of the old posts here on the site. I had planned on transcribing all those articles from the old database onto the blogger site by hand, since there is no program that will transfer from the Textpattern format to the Blogger format. Unfortunately, the database is not one of the files that I brought along with me. So, I'm gonna have to try and talk my wife through how to locate the file and send it to me through email. That should be fun! She just loves technology and computers and dealing with that stuff.

 

Anyways, once I have access to the database, I figure that I will start getting the old stuff up, and then just try and stay on track by day and month and post the older articles as current for a week or so and then have them drop back into their proper lineup. Maybe it will spark new thoughts or even comments. I hope to have it done by the end of the deployment.
