Resurrection Eggs?

The first time I saw "Resurrection Eggs" I thought, "Whatever." I surmised it was another typical cheap, embarrassing "Christian" product that people I don't have much in common with would like. (Editors note: that was many years ago, and hopefully I've grown in grace and don't harbor much cynical judgment anymore, maybe.)

Be that as it may, the other member of my marriage asked me to buy Resurrection Eggs so that we could have an egg hunt with our gonna-be-three year old daughter, Genesis. I mumbled something about Astarte, without committing to making the run to the local Christian store.

Later, recognizing scoring points with my wife and daughter is a high priority, (know that our marriage is not based on points because if it is, I'm losing) I proudly announced that I would succumb to her desire and go buy the pagan eggs. By the way, I also bought this thing to color eggs without making a mess, and some Christian Easter/Resurrection stickers. Twenty bucks later, we were sitting around the dinner table as Daddy was telling the Easter (Resurrection) story and Genesis was opening each egg - the last of which is empty. (Empty tomb, get it?)

I was pleasantly surprised, well thought out, nice product. I was glad to have a great opportunity to teach my daughter about Jesus betrayal, torture, death, and resurrection.

Resurrection Eggs get a thumbs up in my book.

Then we really got carried away and hunted Easter eggs filled with gummy worms and M & M's!
