Pulled over at my favorite Amish roadside stand today. A scrawled sign said: closed due to Ascension Day. Ouch! I forgot it this year. I like something about Ascension Day. You have to have it to finish the story of Jesus on earth, right? Jesus didn’t die for long; he came back and went to heaven. So if I say Jesus is in my heart…. Okay, I won’t quibble with words, but I prefer the objective Bible story telling us facts instead of metaphor.
Also, five dollars that no one can find a praise and worship song that does what Chas. Wesley does in “Hail the day that sees him rise, to his throne above the skies, Christ, awhile to mortals giv’n, enters now his native heav’n.” (1969 Menno Hymnal #185). And “high and lifted up” does not count.
Anyway, I’ll get those strawberries tomorrow.
