We never did focus much on a big Easter dinner, and now even less so. I'll cook something Saturday that I can nuke after church!

When my son and daughter were kids, they each had a list of clues in the form of Bible verses. They had to look up the verse, figure out the clue, and then find the next clue, and eventually their Easter baskets.

For example, Paul's first clue might be John 6:48. He'd look it up, and the verse would be "Then Jesus declared, 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.'" He'd look in the bread box, and there would be the next clue.

The next clue might be John 4:10, which he'd look up and find: "Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.'" The next clue might be taped to the shower head or under the sink. And so on.

They had about six clues each, and we all had fun. And chocolate.
