It turned out to be a great weekend across the area! I know many golf courses opened up officially for the season. A few had opened up for a day or two last month, but they quickly shut down after we had a return of winter.

I just love that the lectionary has Psalm 118 as the psalm for Easter Sunday. This psalm is a song of victory. The psalmist begins and ends this 29-verse psalm with “O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever!” The psalmist gives us many scenarios. When distressed the psalmist cries out and writes, “The Lord is on my side to help me” (verse 7a). When the nations had surrounded the psalmist and he was in fear, he writes, “I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation” (verses 13-14). And after more accounts of God’s salvation, the psalmist writes, “I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” (verses 21-24).
