nice bunny

It's amazing how hard parents work to get the happy Easter bunny picture to send to all the relatives. The child could be screaming as adults are flinging themselves about trying to get Junior to forget that he has been placed in the care of a giant rodent long enough to produce a reasonable smile. We all cheer when, through tear-stained cheeks, the joy of Easter appears for the briefest of moments, an we capture it on film.

In short, many of our pictures are bald-faced lies.

Again, don't read the words of a cynic. I just wonder how the world would change if we told the truth and didn't pretend that all is well when it clearly isn't.

If God is a God of truth, isn't it reasonable to assume that truth is the arena where he acts? If he wants to do good things for us, then my guess it's when we are being honest and not sugar coating.

So, I'm considering a life where if I'm scared of the bunny then that is the picture we are taking. Then maybe God will assure me that it's truly a nice bunny
