Easter, with all of its uncertainty, terror, and amazement, once again invites us to go into the world proclaiming the good news for all people.

RCL Reflection, Easter Sunday, Year B, April 1, 2018
Even though this Easter falls on April Fool’s Day, the joke’s not on us. The joke’s on death and the powers of darkness. Ditch your fear, holy fools, and let the living, loving, and telling begin. Christ has died. Christ is risen! Christ will come again! (Photo: Trishhhh, Creative Commons)

The empty tomb occasions both shouts of victory and mute terror and awe–if we are honest about it. Mark’s account of the resurrection is truly a story of hope and promise for uncertain times. (Photo by Tony Beeman used under Creative Commons License. Thanks!)
