Inconvenient Truth of Resurrection


This was the sign at the gym this weekend.
They meant well, but got me stirred up.
Inconvenient truth for sure!
Easter disrupts more than gym schedules!
Easter is an inconvenient truth for those who claim
that death has the last word, or
that in the end the rest of us don't matter because 
 the powerful win.
Easter disrupts those who would convince us 
there is no room for hope. for kindness, or for mercy
Easter shouts "Oh no you don't!" to all those lies.
Easter, as a preacher said today, is a revolution--
a daily revolution of tenderness, hope, and courage.
The gym opens early tomorrow.
