not so much sabbath

Usually on Mondays I try to avoid the computer a little and take some Sabbath time. Today is an exception. I am presiding over a funeral today. It begins in a matter of hours and I have a sermon to finish up for it. The length is Seabury-esq, 3 minutes. It is not a Eulogy. It is a sermon about the resurrection. Here we are approaching Holy Week, and the person whose life we celebrate passed on the first day of spring. I think that's all the sermon fodder I need.

God loves the world. This is why, again and again, God resurrects God's self in our hearts. Resurrection is ongoing. It is not an event in the future. It is not some passage we hold our breaths for. It is now. Spring is now. Hope is now.

Anyway, I needed a pick-me-up. I've officated two funerals and traveld for another in a brief timeframe. I will need a nap this afternoon. The picture below was taken when Trish and I went out to Virginia and Earl's funeral. I have been meaning to grab a photo of this sign for years. It makes me chuckle every time I drive by it. I think O'Hare Airport could use this idea. The mayor is always talking about expansion. Bah! It's the 21st Century. It is all about multitasking. LOL.
