Honey and I are watching the local news on Good Friday and they have a story of a local church recreating the trials of Christ.  The parishioners are dragging a cross a couple of miles up the hill from their church to another church.  Honey starts chuckling uncontrollably.  (They had a picture on the front page of The Tribune Democrat, provided below.)

I ask, "What are you laughing about?"  Honey says, "things sure have changed since Christ's day.  I can't imagine Christ was dragging a cross made of 2 X 4's, and look at the bottom  there's a wheel."  Now that I find funny.  We can't have modern day followers of Christ actually suffering.  (Sorry, they didn't show the wheel in the picture.)

Blond Easter 

Three blondes died and found themselves standing before St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell Him what Easter represented. The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big Feast And we give thanks and eat turkey."  St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to Hell. The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to Hell. The third blonde said she knew what Easter was, and St. Peter said, "So, Tell me." She said," Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His Disciples when He was betrayed by Judas and the Romans arrested Him.  The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large boulder...

St Peter said, "Verrrrrry good." Then the blonde continued, "Now, every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball."  St. Peter fainted.
