Easter Fests

POSTED BY: JAKE

This weekend was a frenzy of cross-cultural interaction that culminated in:

*A Buddhist Thai

*Accompanied by two Caucasians

*At the largest African-American church in the Midwest

*Hugging a heavy-set African-American woman in her 70’s

*Repeating to her, as per guest speaker Jesse Jackson’s imperative, that, “I don’t know about you, but I know Jesus loves me and died for my sins.”

Easter doesn’t get any better than that. Of course eggs were dyed, Gin & Ginger Teas were imbibed, corn pancakes were consumed, 1990’s films were watched, Donna Summers was listened to, a mattress was ported across town, Woodfield Mall was visited, and 9 sacks of garments were vigorously laundered; you know, the conventional Easter activities we all have come to recognize as a celebration of the Risen Savior, Our Lord Jesus.

P.S. I was officially invited to join the U.S. Peace Corps today. Will be waiting for the FedEx pack with all pertinent information to arrive sometime tomorrow or Wednesday.
