In Storytelling: Imagination and Faith, William J. Bausch shares: “In the Greek Orthodox tradition, the day after Easter was devoted to telling jokes… They felt they were imitating the cosmic joke that God pulled on Satan in the Resurrection. Satan thought he had won, and was smug in his victory, smiling to himself, having the last word. So he thought… Then God raised Jesus from the dead, and life and salvation became the last words.”

Did you know about this joke? If not, why don’t you discover it this Easter Sunday. If you don’t have any plans, please join me for the 13th Annual Easter Sunrise Service at 7 a.m. at the Reynolds Plantation Pavilion. If that is too early, join me at 9 a.m. at the Reynolds Lake Club or at 10:30 at the LOCC. Hope to see you Easter Sunday. Wishing you much love and much light.
