The Day After...Easter


My children are all semi-grown, so thankfully I can do a family Easter basket !!! I can honestly celebrate never having to color eggs again.
Easter has left the building, but this one, like so many, will be fondly remembered by me.

I spent the entire day, singing ALL the songs from "Jesus Christ Superstar!!" All day, all the songs, over and over!!!

Woke up thinking about Ted Neely, on this day of Resurrection!!!
Is that wrong? Ted Neely has played Jesus for years in the play, JCS!!!! I wasn't being disrespectful, to the real Jesus.

I know Ward, who is in heaven, spent the entire day, explaining to the man, "Lord you know, she loves that play, and it does have to do with Easter!!"

I especially like to belt out the song Judas sings, " Listen Jesus to the warning I give, don't you know that I want you to live, and believe me , I've been your right hand man all along...."
My brothers and I have sung this album for years, each one thinking that they know the most words!!! When they KNOW, its me.

I have been lucky enough to see the play three times. Once, I was so proud to take my children, and they BEGGED me, not to sing. They were expecting a miracle???? After all, its only Ted Neely on the cross!!!

So on this beautiful , day after Easter, I continue to celebrate the risen lord, and thank him for letting me know all the words!!!

  1. I listened to this over and over as a teenager and just recently downloaded some of the songs on my iPod!!! I didn't know we had this connection! "After all, I've tried for 3 years, seems like 90..."
