Our entire family, except for the little boys, is involved in our church’s Easter Drama. Larry came home from his costume fitting to inform me to just look for the “Great Pumpkin” and I would find him. Apparently, his costume is, well….orange. Shockingly orange, apparently….
Jacob has gotten over his aversion to wearing a “dress”, and is enjoying himself tremendously. Sarah and I are once again working backstage, ensuring the props are available, the scenes are set up, and providing some of the special effects. We are all enjoying ourselves tremendously!
Jacob has a (possibly unhealthy) curiosity about the disciple Judas. We’ve been researching, watching History channel programs and asking everyone we know about this particular disciple. I won’t gross you out with the details that Jacob is most curious about….but let me just say that it involves Judas’ manner of death. This curiosity has also led to some extremely interesting conversations regarding pre-destination, and free-will, and God’s omnipotent presence in general. So it’s entirely possible that this fascination with Judas isn’t a totally bad thing, right?!?!
We’re counting down the days till Easter. Ever mindful of His blessings… and being reminded of His gift….His son who died so that we might live…. thank you God today for the gift of Your son, Jesus Christ….
What special plans do you have for Easter? We have celebrated with Larry’s family already, and Easter Sunday around the Edge house will be low key… spent recuperating from this week of rehearsals and performances!

I posted a sermon to my blog yesterday about the relationship between Judas and Jesus, if Jacob is interested in listening to it! What big questions your kids have!
