An Easter 2025 Reflection

Today is a day we recognize the resurrection of Jesus, as we have done in years past. However, in light of all the chaos we are seeing in the world, perhaps it’s necessary to be mindful that extravagant and sacrificial love that was shown three days earlier was for everyone, everywhere, throughout time and memorial.

Jesus was about liberation, love, and life everlasting. Jesus was about liberation, love, and life everlasting. He also lived for and loved the immigrant, the LGBTQ person, the person working two jobs to make ends meet, the veteran with scars we cannot see, the visitors, the huddled masses yearning for freedom, the sick, the widow, the orphan, the student, and many more.

I believe that the power of Jesus is about the power of love born from sacrifice and death, which no longer has sting. It’s never been about power or privilege, it’s always about loving our neighbors as ourselves and doing it the best we can as long as we can.

Something About Not Wearing Suits

President Zelinskyy didn’t wear a suit to the White House, and he is a hero. Maybe we need more people who don’t wear suits, getting things done and making the world a better place. It seems like some people in suits are making the world worse.

This Moment In History

Right now, the free world is being led by people who stand up to bullies and to those who are fighting for freedom against tyranny and unprovoked attacks. Also, may I add those not trying to economically damage allies. At this moment in history, it’s not The President of the United States and by extension The United States is in a dark place, and we need someone to see the country through.

How You Doin’ Everyone?

I just wanna check in on you all to see how are things? I hope you are all navigating the choppy waters that is life these days. Hang in there.

Live From New York, It’s Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary

The Season one cast of Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live is a venerable television institution. This long-running sketch comedy and musical series has been on American TV sets via the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) for fifty years. The first episode featured comedian George Carlin, Billy Preston and Janis Ian.

SNL launched the careers of John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtain, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Jason Sudeikis, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, Keenan Thompson, Will Ferrell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Molly Shannon, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and many many more. At its core, it is a variety show that satires what is going on in the culture.

It is a show that always makes you laugh at first and then makes you think. Each episode has a host and a musical guest. The music is as important as the skits if you ask me. Tonight, the show will celebrate its anniversary, looking back at all the talented people and crazy stuff they have done all these fifty years. Congratulations, Lorne Michaels and company, for your amazing achievement.
