Easter

Easter seems a quiet time here at Luther.

We're on vacation for six days and many students travel home to be with family and friends so the parking lot is obviously more spacious. Many students use the time to either get ahead on studies or catch up on projects overdue. Many students are involved at congregations here in the Cities (whether for their required Teaching Parish experience or other) and may be preaching or leading worship and other activities. Many students are watching endless first and second round NCAA basketball games. Some students and their families are building snowmen, snow forts, and snow balls (with which to barrage ________). Yes, snow at Easter. It has snowed here intermittently since Friday and there are several inches collected on the ground. There was a family Easter egg hunt yesterday held indoors and numerous Seminary children are currently coming down from Jesus-raised-from-the-dead-thanks-for-the-sugar-coated-marshmallow-chicken-sucrose-high (http://www.peepresearch.org/).

Maybe Easter is not so quiet here at Luther.
