The Easter story is about hope, about new life, about a new start, about freedom from the things we fear most. I have been celebrating its effects on my life with freinds and family at a dawn communion gathering at our local beach. (Followed by a massive breakfast of pancakes, bacon and maple syrup, eggs – scrambled, fried and chocolate! -and lots and lots of good good coffee)
Speaking of coffee (and new life), caffeine-connoisseur Markk was asking about whether the Lazarus story has been created in lego, and the answer is YES. Here is the expurgated version.
[For all your Biblical Lego needs, please go to the Brick Testament.]
The Gospel According to … Lego??!

Well, Easter is nearly upon us. And sometimes us crazy Christian-folk have been accused of messing up our kids’ minds with what is a very violent story. (Mind you, the same people generally let their kids watch The Simpson’s Itchy and Scratchy, Ninja Turtles and war movies, but I digress).
So if Mel Gibson’s Passion is a little too bloody to help your kids understand the Easter story, don’t despair! For someone-eth hath invented …
(dramatic pause)
Here’s the short version of the Easter story [clicketh thou on the pictures to enlargeth them]…
Jesus cries out in agony from the cross.
The Romans break the legs of the first criminal crucified with Jesus to stop him from pushing himself up to get air into his lungs. This is their way of killing him quickly.
They do the same to other criminal – but they find that Jesus is already dead. [And doesn't that Lego hammer look good?]
3 days later and there’s an empty tomb.
(There you have it. The G-rated version … And a great ad for Lego!)
