Please, enjoy this True Easter Story and let your burdens be lifted by Christ and a bit of humor.
Last Easter Sunday at about 1 PM, my wife and I were walking the dog towards a friend's house.
David and Brenna Campbell are a couple in their early thirties with five children. Their second youngest is Mary. She was 3 1/2 - 4 yrs old at the time. She has a rat's nest of toe headed curls, huge sparkling blue eyes and a engaging smile and attitude. She calls me Mr. Hampton.
Like little girls often do, she talks a mile a minute with no separation between words.
She met me outside her home and said "Circumcision!" Confused I said,"excuse me"? She replied, "Circumcision"! Surprised, I leaned forward, putting my hands on my knees, in an attempt to get to her level and also to lean in and hear her better; again I said, "excuse me"? Once more she said, with great enthusiasm, "Circumcision"!
At his time, her Mother walked up to greet me with Easter tidings. Before she could speak, I leaned over to Brenna's right ear and said, why is Mary yelling "Circumcision"?.
Brenna roared with laughter. She laughed so hard a tear ran down her leg. After composing herself, Brenna said;
"Christ is Risen!"
