It is Passover.
It is Easter weekend.
As Christians, we know what happened that weekend and we know why we celebrate it. We have been told the story, “The Greatest Story Ever Told” for most of our lives. We know it.
Don’t we?
We know about the last supper.
We know about the Garden.
We know about Judas and the 30 pieces of silver.
Peter.
We know of the trials and the freeing of Barabbas and the scourging and the washing of Pilot’s hands.
We know of the stations of the cross, the nails, the last words.
We know he was set in the tomb, the stone rolled to cover the opening and the Roman guards.
We know of Mary and the discovery, the words he spoke, Thomas having to touch his hands and feet.
We know the whole story. Don’t we?
What are we missing?
Maundy Thursday…Good Friday…Easter Sunday….

While the Obama administration fights for all they’re worth, and that ain’t much, to prevent individual states from enacting voter ID laws, and while at the same time more and more allegations of forgery regarding Obama’s own personal records surfaces due to Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case investigation, voter fraud has taken a front seat in Indiana.
Imagine if one of our allies, during WWII, had let the cat out of the bag regarding D-Day…the date and the location or, leaked our information regarding Midway Island or the Doolittle raid. Imagine it, if you can, the damage that would have been done.
