Passover 2009 Series: Introduction

I love the story of Passover, the foreshadowing of Christ's final redemptive work, the Father's mercy - I love it all. Truth be told I'm a fan of a lot of the OT festivals. I don't necessarily observe them, but I try to at least reflect upon them as they're taking place. I think it is a shame that so many Christians avoid/ are ignorant of the rich history of the Old Testament.

So, in honor of Passover I'm going to be posting a series of recipes that would comprise a typical Jewish Sedar (Passover meal) as well as anything I think might help us reflect upon Christ's redemptive work during this time. I don't do Lent, I do Passover. ;)

Dates to keep in mind

Passover: Thursday, the 9th of April and will continue for 7 days until Wednesday, the 15th of April.
Resurrection Sunday: Sunday, April 12, 2009

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn...
