Rach and I had an awesome weekend away with friends, eating good food (well it was food) and playing cards to 2am. Gold I tell you!
I was thinking that I hope Easter doesn't fade into the 'another holiday' category like Christmas for Christians as it has for non-Christians. I guess Easter should be the most important time for a Christian and it pains me to think that it would become a 'hollow' time.
I also had a bit of a cynical harsh thought (one that I can't believe I am about to post publicly!!) Do you think that holidays should be specific to a persons particular religion?
Eg A Christian has Easter and Christmas, but should a Muslim, Jew or Buddhist person have the same public holidays? What about the Agnostic or atheist, should they 'ride the public holiday wagon' of Christianity? I have heard people say (very hilariously) 'get your own public holidays (I think that is a contradiction of terms!).
But it is an interesting thought no?

G'day Psalmist! I'm glad you are enjoying my writing, although i am surprised! Drop by anytime!!
We should all get public holidays during the important times in each religion -- including the full month of Ramadam!
Hahaha! Good one Steve.
I dunno. That would mean that people who don't follow a religion would have no holidays then, which in turn could mean that people would come to church just to get a holiday, which in turn could mean more opportunities for us to show God's love!
I'm SOLD!
