How was your Easter? In what ways was Easter this year different than Easter last year? For me, Easter this year was heaps better than Easter 2020 because of the whole lockdown and COVID thing. Last year, Easter didn’t feel very “Easter-ish,” so I think I was all the more grateful and excited for last Sunday!
Of course, we celebrated Easter in 2020, not only as a day on the calendar, but we tried to remember that it was Resurrection Sunday.  We did an online Easter service at our church, in a mostly empty room with some gracious camera operators and wonderful volunteers.  I remember trying to coach my mental game for Easter 2020 using my self-made mantra, “Empty tomb more than empty room!”
