Ten days from now - on a Sunday morning that could have sleet or snow
and temperatures in the teens or trees beginning to bud as the
temperature nears 70 - I will once again be getting up very early to
take part in the 40th annual Easter Sunrise Service on Miller's Dock.
Members of our congregation will again be gathering with a large group
of celebrators from the Port Clinton area and from as far away as
Columbus and Cleveland. They come from near and far each year to
celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and His promise that all who
accept His invitation will experience a similar resurrection in our
future - on the other side of the death He has conquered for us. We
come from near and far to celebrate our receiving of a Divine and
Eternal Gift.

To me, the Season of Lent has always seemed like an alarm clock - the
church's spiritual alarm clock. My alarm clock at home summons me to
the bathroom mirror to see what shaving and personal grooming must
precede the day's activities. Lent summons me to a Word of God mirror
which reveals how close I am coming - or not coming - to what God has
created, sustained, redeemed and enlightened me to be. That Image of
God in which we were all created is so easily tarnished in our day to
day activities.
