Bunny Rabbits!
Several years ago, I saw an episode of South Park that seemed to try to explain how the Easter Bunny became the mascot for the Easter holiday. The episode is now just a vague recollection for me, but I think the explanation given was something ridiculous (big surprise, it’s a comedy show) and maybe even profane (big surprise, it’s South Park). Anyhow, it got me thinking about what the real reason might be. Here’s what I came up with. It’s just my own personal theory. I definitely could be incorrect about this…
I think everyone has a special affinity for something. For me it’s cats. I love cats! I watch cats on Twitch everyday. I always stop and talk to cats if I see any while I’m out walking. I plan to foster shelter cats eventually when I can financially afford to do so. For other people it might be tigers, sunflowers, pigs, Ford Mustangs, etc.
I think Jesus loves bunny rabbits! I think God has made the Easter holiday (or soon-to-be-holiday after the resurrection of Jesus is confirmed) extra special for Jesus by including bunny rabbits as a part of the occasion.
God bless everyone!
Some Q’s & A’s
Here are some questions and answers on some topics that I think some people have been wondering about…

Cross of Saint Peter / Petrine Cross
I know many of you already know this, but I believe God would like everyone to know it, so today I’m writting about it.
This is the Cross. The Cross is the greatest and most profound symbol of LOVE and HOPE that will ever be. Jesus suffered and died on the Cross for you. Jesus suffered and died on the Cross for me.
When the Cross is displayed upside down (inverted), it remains the greatest and most profound symbol of LOVE and HOPE that will ever be, and it gains additional meaning.
After the crucifixion of Jesus, when Peter the Apostle was sentenced to death by crucifixion, he requested that the crucifix on which he was to be hanged be turned upside down because he did not feel worthy to die in the same manner as Jesus. Thus, Peter the Apostle was crucified upside down on an inverted cross.
The inverted Cross is often called the Cross of Saint Peter or the Petrine Cross.
If you display the Cross upside down, you are making a very, very strong statement which expresses ultimate humility before Christ.
The following is commentary about my own personal experience. I do not think God is concerned that people know any of this which follows, but I wanted to share with you, a little about my experience.
Personally, I have some work to do toward correcting my emotional understanding on this subject. I have been quite adversely affected by my past exposure to misapplication of the Cross of Saint Peter (A.K.A. the Petrine Cross), with the majority of it occurring in Pop Culture media (e.g. “Satanic” album cover art, horror movies, etc.)
I do well if I see it displayed atop a church or other similar and correct context. I see it for the beautiful symbol that it is and I feel appropriately about it. But if I see it in an incorrect context, I cringe. I feel momentarily that I am seeing something bad. I know intellectually that I am seeing something good and that it is possibly just misplaced, but initially I feel differently until I take a few seconds to remind myself of what I am really seeing.
Moving forward, I intend to work on this personal issue. My plan is: after some self-talk about what I am about to see, is to spend a few minutes per day viewing images that depict misapplication of the Cross of Saint Peter (A.K.A. the Petrine Cross). Then, each day when I have done that; more self-talk about what I have just seen.
Voila! …issue resolved soon!
God bless you all!
Happy Good Friday and Easter!
I hope you all have a happy Good Friday and a happy Easter!
God bless you all!
Sharing some of my beliefs
There is something I’d like to share about my own spiritual belief, but I’d like to preface it, so that hopefully people can see why this choice to share is not an easy one for me. I want to be sensitive to others’ beliefs and I do not want to impose my own beliefs. If I knew with certainty whether or not the suggestion of the Holy Trinity is new to you, perhaps it would be easier for me to know if sharing my personal belief is a good idea or not.
I have never seen or visited the world you’ve all come from. I know very little about it and your experiences there. I do not know if you’ve ever even heard of the Holy Trinity prior to coming here. I suspect you have not, although I have no way of being certain.
Here is what I want to share. My belief in God is strictly monotheistic. I believe in God, and I believe in Jesus, but I do not believe Jesus is God. I know Jesus to be the one and only begotten Son of God. Jesus is Christ.
I believe I know why God is teaching us about the Holy Trinity. I believe God has a story to share with us. It is a story which is very personal and emotional for God. It is a story of how things would have been in a different circumstance.
God has shared some of the story with me and I think there are others who know different parts of the story. I am hopeful and optimistic that they and I will eventually be able to work together to assemble the pieces and share what we discover.
God bless you, everyone.
Green Heart.
Happy Good Friday & Easter!
