What? I have a blog?!?

No, I didn't forget. I haven't posted for several reasons, the two main ones being A) I just haven't had anything to say recently, and 2) I haven't really had time to write.

But today I have something to say prompted by this Hannity & Colmes transcript at FoxNews.com:

Tonight, there may be a new endangered species to add to the national register -- the Easter Bunny. Several south Florida shopping malls have renamed the large, white rabbit that's handing out plastic eggs to kids with names that don't refer to the Christian holiday, like "Peter Rabbit" and "Garden Bunny".

Personally (and I say this as a Christian), I think that is a good thing. A cute little bunny hiding chocolate eggs in a pagan celebration of spring fertility doesn't have a single thing to do with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus - which is really what Easter is about.

(At least in my Bible there's no mention of a bunny hopping around the cross while Jesus was being crucified, and I don't recall the followers of Christ going on an egg hunt the day of Christ's resurrection.)

So I'm all for taking "Easter" back from the secular aspect of the holiday. Let the bunny be called the "Garden Bunny" or the "Spring Rabbit" or whatever name they want to come up with.

Let "Easter" be about Jesus.
