What Is The Meaning Of Easter?

I don't mean our lousy traditions, I mean of what are supposed to be celebrating? Some would say our salvation because our Saviour died for our sins. I don't celbrate that and only figured that out now. I celebrate his return to heaven. I spent the weekend in Vegas and played in a poker tournament, I had me some fun.

For Easter, we should celebrate that a friend got out of this place and got to go and be with God and be loved rather than get nailed to a cross. That is a good thing to celebrate. I don't celebrate his dying for me, I regret it was necessary. That is my view anyways.

I had a nice weekend. I had a few ladies flirt with me (I have witnesses so shut up)played poker and did great, final table baby. First live tournament in two years, felt great and I was complimented on my play more than once. I know it is just a game and see it as such; but, it is nice to know that we are good at things, that we have some say in the outcome, that we have a chance. Jesus gave us that. That was a gift, I am greatful he got out of this place and gets to be in a better one, we all can someday. Patience is required, no shortcuts.

There was a movie called "doing time on planet earth". What if, life was like that? What if we all had to experience hell and the degree to which we did, we would have heaven? Trippy question? What if, in "The End (A song by the Beatles on Abbey Road), what if,"And in the end, the love you get is equal to the love you give". What if that were true, does it get better or worse for you? Have a great week.
