This Easter weekend, John and I went back to our parents’ house in Hastings (or “The ‘Stings” as I like to call it). On Friday night, we played around with MythTV, which is a linux-based — and thus free — home media convergence service that my Dad has been working to get running to the point where it can replace the DVD player, as well as act as a TiVo-like service for recording old movies off of TCM. We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, and on Sunday night, went to the community meeting at River Ridge. I was very pleased to realize that this is how we do Easter in the People of Praise; we spend most of the day with our individual families, and then at night, we all come together as a big extended family, and celebrate our savior’s resurrection. Bill Wacker gave a remarkable talk on the story of Jesus’ resurrection, and why it would have been very difficult for anyone to believe at the time, given the circumstances. Praise the Lord!
