Stop and think:
The bunny is hopping along pretty well by now, coming into the homestretch to deliver Easter surprises. But on the primary side of the Easter spectrum we must reflect on the last Supper, the warning of betrayal, the agony in the Garden of Gethsemani , the arrest, the scourging and the crowning with thorns; all the events ahead of Good Friday, There is so much to think about between pink and yellow and lavender eggs, and red blood running down the face of the son of God.
I haven't sat and watched a moon launch for quite a while. The drama is still there. The magnitude of the engineering is still awesome. The fear I have for the safety of the Astronauts never dissipates. It was quite the thrill watching lift-off, and feeling the relief at separation. And there they were, the four in that little capsule headed off beyond the moon.
One reason Baseball still remains popular through the turmoil of the ages is because they still have phones with cords in the dugout.
You have your Repubs. You have your Dems. But most analysts are saying the midterms will be decided by the independents.

I'm A Security Guard And My Boss Told Me It Was My Responsibility to Watch The Office Every Night. Already up to season 4 and have no idea what it has to do with being a security guard.
The deer were back yesterday morning. That's a good sign for Easter.
When you consider the two days I'm thinking, Friday is die day, yet Thursday is worse day. Yeah Thursday reveals the breaking of a trust between Jesus and Judas. While on Friday we she udder at the tragic scenes of soldiers under orders driving nails though the hands of the son of God. Yet shouldn't we be more disturbed of Judas breaking a trust. Isn't that the greater message to society. . That no society can withstand the infection of distrust. Just threw that in for a philosophical discussion – murder versus a break of trust.
Many of the states and cities that have inaugurated Tax the wealthy schemes are losing wealthy citizens mainly to Red states like Texas and Florida. In case the lefty legislatures haven't figured it out yet, the wealthy create jobs, support institutions and can have an effect on cleaner, safer communities.
