HIJACK PLOT FOR EASTER

End of school term this week, Easter is around the corner. Everywhere I turn, I see eggs, chocolate eggs, bunnies, more eggs, gosh- it's like they are popping up with a vengeance. Major distraction manifesto time for easter ..
I do not get the significance of Good Friday at all over here. I think even in Malaysia & Singapore, this 'egg' disease may have spread in great proportions. The message of the cross has been hijacked by the chocolate confectionary business. Bunnies and eggs have been strategically placed at every corner of supermarkets and are considered must haves over here for Easter. If you didn't buy at least one for your child, you may be labelled a "meano cheapo". Oh well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so Jordan gets his easter eggs and his egghunt,.. but not without first understanding the true message of Good Friday & Easter. Jesus needs to take centre stage for this event,
We cannot lose the plot.

like fortune cookies? now, the trick is to make sure they don't swallow the paper as well. Extra fibre.
