Pulled over for 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 where Jesus really is.
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.
