I want to make certain that I don't spend my life constantly seeking new beginnings, because I am constantly creating bad endings.
~~~~~~~~~~~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
This is an epilogue of sorts to yesterday's Easter discussion.
Mrs. NT and I were out of town for the weekend. We stayed at a small hotel in Amarillo, of all places, because Yes, I know how to show a girl a good time. I got on the elevator yesterday morning, and was joined by a young man who was a hotel employee. He gave me a Gift worth sharing.
He gets on the elevator, so I ask "How you doing this morning?" Like most elevator conversations, it was more of a greeting than an actual inquiry, but his reply will follow me around for a long time to come. He gave me a smile bright enough to light up a gymnasium, and exclaimed "It's Easter, baby! I woke up forgiven! What a day!" He exited on the next floor down, off to his next set of chores, unaware that he had just preached the best Easter sermon I'd ever heard. Said it all in ten words.
That's a lesson worth remembering. Baby.
In His love and service,
NT
Matthew 28: 19-20
John 3:16
Dedicated to Allen Jones, who knew that kind of enthusiasm.
