Ah...what a glorious day... Easter is tomorrow...and the Spurs open their playoff series today...life is good.

Went out to the church this morning to cut some of the grass. I thought I could get away with not doing that until I saw it last night...Too raggedly looking for Easter. It was a nice way to start the day until part of the lawnmower fell off. Not the blade or anything, the little plastic thing that holds part of the handle on disappeared along with the screw it holds in place. I found the screw, but I ended up on my own version of an Easter egg hunt, walking over every area that I had mowed looking for that little plastic part. Luckily I had about finished mowing the critical areas. I found it eventually, actually just as I was leaving, about 10 feet from where I first noticed it fell off... Didn't find any Easter eggs... but I harbor no ill will toward the Easter Bunny

EGO ALERT: Last night I discovered I had finally made it...onto Google. I admit I occasionally "egosurf", trying to find out if my name or web page will come up in search engines. Most of the time it doesn't. However last night a search for Michael Main radio produced an immediate hit for my website. Even this blog comes up in Google now, with a little effort.

After that happened I realized how quickly my head could swell knowing that I was now among the elite 560 billion websites listed by Google, so I quickly took steps to humble myself. This morning I installed a little "web counter" at the bottom of this blog. It's very reassuring to know that I''m still the only one who reads my prose.

While working this morning I listened to the hugely popular Darryl Worley song "Have you forgotten". It's aimed at folks who question the necessity of war and is very moving. However I was still thinking about last night's very moving Good Friday service. Amy sang, and the story of the night Jesus died was retold. We retell it because too many of us have forgotten that.
