April 3rd

"After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb." Matthew 28:1

on the first day

of the week, Maggie

and Mary (nicknamed

the Spare) were absolutely

gobsmacked finding the

tomb as empty as their hearts.

on the second day

of the week, they argued

as to whether or not they

might open a jumble shop

in the empty tomb, with 

Jesus' left behind clothes

in the bargain bin.

on the third day 

of the week, an entrepreneur

approached them about

offering tours of the site

but Joe A, who actually owned

the spot, would not accept.

so today, they joined their

siblings in shaking the dust

off their feet and heading 

back home to Galilee 

to see if Jesus was pulling

their legs or not about

being there.
