Resurrector Set

Hi Lavurn!

I'm watching the torture and crucifixion scenes of "The Passion of Christ" while eating jambalaya and drink blood red wine. This might not seem like the best way to celebrate Easter, but as a recovering Catholic I never enjoyed the more traditional Easter bonnets and weird-tasting Cadbury chocolates.

One of my Jewish friends asked me yesterday what the Easter bunny had to do with our holiday. I was at a loss, so I confused her by making up a passage in the Gospel of Matthew which says that Jesus laid twelve eggs while on the cross and Peter Rabbit denied the eggs three times before they took them away. I added lots of Old English in my quotes like "Lo, though the bunny walketh through the shadow of death, it layeth eggs covered in chocolatey goodness." I figured no one reads the Gospel of Matthew anyway. The dirty secret of the New Testament is that Mark and John were much better writers.

Comparing Passover to Easter is like taking a semester of religious study at Bennington College. In Passover, Jews get to celebrate NOT being persecuted for once. Great idea, but if you were going to celebrate being spared from the wrath of God, I think they should break out better food than unleavened bread and gefilte fish. For the Holy Week surrounding Easter, Christians praise someone else for doing their dirty work and absolving them of sins, much like Enron, which I'm sure was full of Christians. Christians eat spiral ham and jelly beans, which of course, haveas much relevance to the Savior as the Peter Cottontail, but there's no denying tradition!

Ugh, this movie Mel Gibson made is disgusting! Skin is being ripped from Jesus as he's being whipped. I can't even finish my jambalaya now. Remind me NOT to go to S&M night at the Cock this week. Well, unless of course, this guy is here. I might be willing to shed a little blood for those legs.


Anyway, kitten, I hope you're looking forward to our upcoming trip to Espana. I know I am. Hallelujah!!!
