To me Jesus was not a throne sort of guy. A man who spent his ministry in the streets taking care of the least of these was not about having a royal attitude. He spent a lot of time going against the establishment and bringing people together. He was a savior but he was also lover of people who were on the fringes and even the people who were non-religious too. In the world we live today we need less king and more every person.
On this Easter we celebrate a man who rose from the dead but before then He taught the world how to live and to love and that is something his believers have forgotten.
If you missed being at church this Easter Sunday and need to hear a good message here is a link to the sermon delivered by my priest Fr. John Bonner of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanoooga, Tennessee.
I have been blogging here at WordPress.com for over two years now. Last week (April 9th) was the anniversary of me posting regularly on this blog. I have grown as a blogger since moving here and that is a good thing. Meeting people from around the world has helped me expand my horizons and I have enjoyed our shared interests. Blogging is about community and connections and of course content.
I have been kind of busy as of late and I haven’t done much writing. Many of my posts in the past few days have been through Instagram. That is blogging too and a picture tells a story in so many ways. People have told me I am a good writer and it’s something that I will do more of in the coming days however there is still many things to share and a picture from Instagram will fill the bill so to speak.
It’s new Doctor Who day around the world as the 10th series of the modern era kicks off today on the BBC and BBC America here in the states. Today has been about binge watching last season with Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman (who left to play young Queen Victoria in the ITV series “Victoria”, which is seen in the states on PBS). Pearl Mackie makes her debut as the new companion. This is Capaldi’s last season so we begin to speculate who will replace him. Let’s enjoy his brilliance while we can.
