Easter in Reverse

This year, in keeping with our efforts to live a more radical Christianity, we did something different for Easter. Rather than focusing on our family and the hunt for eggs, we decided that we would have dinner with Jesus. Well, not exactly, Matthew 25:40 says "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"

We went to His Place, a local church that reaches out to the homeless and helped them serve dinner today. We spent yesterday boiling and coloring 9 dozen eggs and today, we will hand them out to the people at His Place. I can't think of a better way to spend Easter than dining with Jesus.

And the secret to "boiling" 9 dozen eggs, you don't. You bake them in the oven at 325 for 30 min - no kidding! You just have to put them in ice water when you take them out to stop them from cooking.
