The Leslie Show

He is Risen! And he ... is ... delicious.

Happy Easter!  We here at the Evans household have celebrated so far with a lovely traditional Easter breakfast of bagels and lox.  Saw this video on the Internet today and thought it suitable for the occasion.

Actually, funny as this is, the CNN video of this story is more detailed and shows the youth minister to be a pretty cool guy (who doesn't seem like a nutjob and isn't calling this a "miracle").

In the spirit of Easter, here's wishing you healthy and successful renewals and rebirths, however they come.   

A poem by Mary Oliver

The Summer Day

by Mary Oliver

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean--
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down--
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
