Every Day Is Easter: We can all rise

I once sat with a woman in her nineties who was on comfort care.  Her adult children could not be there because they were out of the country, so I was with her.  She ended up telling me why she had no fear whatsoever of death - and it had to do with Easter.  We take a bit of a biblical survey, looking at both the literal version of the Easter story, and at the more personal side of the resurrection story.  We see that getting caught up in defending the resurrection from a scientific perspective misses the true gift of Easter to each of us personally.
