It’s always interesting to see how churches change their services for Easter. H2O’s service today was no exception. In place of the usual murmur before the service, there was silence, only the soft quell of cathedral music and a slowly transitioning slideshow with simple words to focus the mind on the significance of the day. A short message from John Hever was followed by worship and communion, including some special songs for the occasion. The oddest thing about the service, though, was the length. At just under an hour, it seemed odd to have a shortened liturgy when a lot of churches would have had a longer one.

The remaining part of the day continued to be somewhat odd, at least in comparison to the typical Easter activities. With the parents out of town for the funeral of my great grandmother, there was brunch or holiday dinner. No relatives visiting. None of the typical festivities normally surrounding this day. The house was quiet, but we still found ways to make the day memorable.

To close, I give you this haiku:

The Easter bunny
Came into my house today
And left much candy

I haven’t written one of these since high school, but seeing how obsessed Aaron is with this short form of poetry, I thought I would give it a try myself. I see now why haiku can become so addicting.
