Saturday Morning Before Easter

I wake up to let the dog out And am greeted by your collective clutter--this family!-- Dirty cups and plates, cushions on the floor, old socks tucked into the couch, cracked pistachio shells intermingling with dried berry blood, ear plugs! I wade into the bog of filth to begin my daily duties. I can hear your voice say, "No one ever helps me around here!" Truly I am a modern Cinderella--I think-- beaten and worn down by those who don't appreciate me. So Christlike! It smacks me in the face. The realization that Christ was crucified last night  and is dead and buried and won't rise until tomorrow, And the disciples have no idea that he will indeed rise! I am no Cinderella. I am a murderer going about her business without any remorse for her crime. What a grim day Saturday can be.
