Peter Cottontail is casual

It is Easter and I hope that all the kids get to participate in egg hunts. Yes, I know this celebration is also a pagan ritual, but did you have a Christmas tree this past season? Okay, shut up about pagan rituals. Nothing wrong with fun, especially when it comes to children. You discuss your beliefs with Almighty God and I'll do the same. He'll sort it out.

How is the actual date of Easter determined? Easter Day is the first Sunday after the full moon on or after March 21. The moon was absolutely beautiful the past few nights. Today is rainy, overcast and a bit chilly for a spring day, yet it's great to be alive and in Mississippi.

While on the subject of rabbits n such one of my favorite movies has to be mentioned, Harvey. This is one of Jimmy Stewart's best, made in 1950. It is timeless and a hoot to watch. Elwood P. Dowd is most casual.

Please remember the true reason we celebrate this day. Prayer helps. Remember our troops, loved ones, and the suffering. Gratitude and forgiveness might do ya some good too.
