Easter II

I do find the Episcopalian way of referring to this Sunday as "Easter II" instead of "The Second Sunday of Easter" sorta funny (I've had this feeling before but haven't gotten around to writing about it).  As a geek, it sounds like a sequel all it needs is a subtitle.  This week it would be "Easter II:  Turning Doubters into Believers".

We had a seminarian preach this week, which was a different experience for me.  The sermon was more academic then I've gotten used to.   I didn't realize it at the time but I did take away from the sermon that it is our responsibility to change the world for future generations.  It's funny, before I started blogging this evening I didn't realize this and then, believe it or not, the movie Bruce Almighty was on and this little bit popped up

"People want me to do everything for them, what they don't realize is they have the power.  You want to see a miracle, son, be the miracle."

And the combination of that line and the sermon hit me and moved me a bit.  I originally wasn't going to mention this at all... but it has me thinking.. nothing I can put in words yet... but a lot of things swimming around the old brain.

I still have the meeting with Tom Synan on Wednesday.  I'm sure I'll post more after that.
