Also known as “progressives.”If you happen upon any of these thugs in the street, keep in mind what happened to Reginald Denny when he stopped for “protestors” who were blocking the roadway.

My weekly lunchtime indoor range visit was cancelled last week due to work conflicts. (I know, right?) That meant I was more than ready to get to the range this week. When I got home from work on Monday, I debated between exercise or the range. Colleen…

At daybreak on the first day of the week
the women who had come from Galilee with Jesus
took the spices they had prepared
and went to the tomb.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb;
but when they entered,
they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were puzzling over this, behold,
two men in dazzling garments appeared to them.
They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground.
They said to them,
“Why do you seek the living one among the dead?
He is not here, but he has been raised.
Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee,
that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners
and be crucified, and rise on the third day.”
And they remembered his words.
Then they returned from the tomb
and announced all these things to the eleven
and to all the others.
The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James;
the others who accompanied them also told this to the apostles,
but their story seemed like nonsense
and they did not believe them.
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb,
bent down, and saw the burial cloths alone;
then he went home amazed at what had happened.
— Luke 24:1-12

Today we rejoice in the fulfillment of Our Lord’s promise of eternal life. On this most glorious of days, our worries and fears are laid to rest. We are reminded that the war between good and evil has already been fought, and that good has forever triumphed. For three days, Satan thought he had won. Three days vs. eternity. Easter gives us the strength to persevere against the lies of the evil one, against his pointless assaults and temptations which we face on a daily basis.

Here’s wishing you a blessed and joy-filled Easter. May the joy of the Resurrection remain in your life all year long.
